“Thank you for looking after my boy 🤗. Sharon is a lovely lady with a nice place and a secure garden, which was ideal for an older dog with mobility issues. There was no issue with any of my requests, and whenever I asked, I always received a reply assuring me that everything was fine. Unfortunately, I did not meet Steven, but that doesn't change the fact that they took good care of him. I will definitely use them again in the future if needed.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 12 years, having grown up with a Labrador and a mixed-breed dog. We are a young couple and now have a super friendly 7-month-old Cavapoo, so we understand the time, patience and attention dogs need every day. We're comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, toilet breaks and giving dogs lots of love and attention. We'll treat every pet as if they were our own and make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable. Both me and my husband work full-time from home, so we have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to give your dog lots of attention, care and company. Dogs are never left alone and will have regular playtime, toilet breaks, walks and plenty of cuddles. We’re also available for boarding and are happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. We have a secure, fully fenced garden and a friendly 7-month-old Cavapoo who loves having company. We have two large parks just a 10-minute walk away, as well as lovely quiet walking routes nearby. Dogs are never left alone and are always supervised and treated as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise and cuddles. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and accommodate their individual needs, including feeding, medication and regular toilet breaks.
“Lauren and family were absolutely amazing! They had shadow for a week while we were on our holidays and we got regular daily updates of her having the absolute best time. I cannot recommend these guys enough.”
About: Our experience with dogs 🐾 Ellie has always had dogs and has experience with a wide range of breeds, including rescue dogs with different backgrounds and needs. She also set up her own rescue, Praxie’s Promise, through which she has helped rehome hundreds of dogs. She is Canine First Aid trained and has a real understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with patience, care and a safe, loving environment. Gethin has always grown up around pets and has plenty of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, we have regularly looked after friends’ dogs, from walks and day-to-day care to having them stay with us while they're on holiday. Between us, we have a great deal of experience with dogs of different personalities, breeds and needs, and we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family. We both work shifts, but Gethin works from home full-time, so there will always be someone around to care for your dog and provide company throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of attention, affection and company while staying with us. We’re both active people and enjoy getting out for walks, so we’re happy to provide as much exercise and outdoor time as your dog needs, whether that’s relaxed walks or something more energetic. We are both very flexible and happy to fit into your dogs schedule, whatever they need! We also have our own dog, Chevy, who is 11 years old and very calm and friendly. He is very adaptable to all kinds of dog personalities and is used to being around dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. We’ll make sure every dog staying with us gets the attention, exercise and care they need, while also giving them the space and time to settle in and feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with a fully enclosed 5ft fenced garden, giving dogs safe access to fresh air and outdoor space throughout the day whenever they need it. As Gethin works from home, there will usually be someone around throughout the day, meaning dogs won’t be left alone for long periods. With Ellie’s extensive experience caring for and rehoming dogs, including rescue dogs with a variety of personalities you can feel confident that your dog is in experienced and caring hands. We have kept our own dogs safe for 20+ years and your dogs will be looked after like one of our own. We’ll introduce dogs to Chevy carefully and at their own pace. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and will keep you updated during their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and well cared for.
“Baz took great care of my dog. The dog seemed sad to leave! We received some pictures and a video of our dog which were welcome but we weren't bombarded by them. Baz comes across as lovely bloke and would happily rebook and recommend”
“Katie was friendly and instantly made Teddy feel relaxed . Her communication was brilliant and she was very gracious and accommodating with Teddy’s needs . I went away feeling confident my dog was in good hands . Thanks Katie I would highly recommend!”
“Our cockerpoo Lottie had a fabulous stay over with Marnie and her lovely hubby and she came back so chilled out! This was the first time we had used Rover and we could not have picked a better sitter so beginners luck I think! We had a greet n meet beforehand to make sure we were all happy and then Lottie stayed over one night whilst we had to travel to a funeral. It was an emotional trip for me so to be able to leave our precious pooch in such caring and capable hands was a real load off my mind. Lottie was soon settled in and making herself at home and Marnie was very reassuring sending me regular updates and photos and giving her great walks and lots of cuddles. I would definately recommend Marnie as a very caring boarder and we feel confident that we have found the perfect sitter for our little dog for a future break. Finding someone you can trust and feel confident with is not always easy so It's a real bonus to find such a lovely person who obviously goes the extra mile to welcome and look after your precious pooch so I am very thankful to have found such a lovely couple first time round. Thank you Marnie it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and hope to see you again soon.”
“Joanna is amazing at looking after our dog, plenty of walks, cuddles and great update videos/photos. We feel 100% comfortable leaving our dog for overnight stays knowing she's loved and well looked after.”
“Sophie is a life saver. She agreed to take care of my dogs as a replacement sitter for an urgent situation that happened while I am away abroad. She described my dogs as easy to handle, while I know that Russell (who is almost 17 yo) is sometimes not very easy. Sophie is patient and understands the need of a senior dog. She is a very reliable, responsible sitter. Thank you so much.”
“Great communication prior to leaving my dogs with Anca, plus plenty of pics and updates whilst we were away. The dogs were happy and well looked after, they had a great garden to play in. Highly recommend especially if you're an anxious dog mum like me.”
“We cannot thank Jacqui enough for the wonderful care she gave our 4‑month‑old puppy Snuggle while he stayed away from home. From the very start, we felt completely at ease—Jacqui is so warm, trustworthy, and clearly has such a loving way with dogs 💖 What made it extra special was how thoughtfully she kept us involved: she sent regular updates with lovely photos, sweet videos, and detailed notes about how Snuggle was doing, what he’d been up to, and how settled he felt. It meant the world to us to see our little one happy and safe, and we never felt out of the loop at all! Jacqui’s home is such a caring, welcoming place—Snuggle was loved and looked after as if he were her own. We would 100% recommend Jacqui to all our family and friends without any hesitation, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you for everything, Jacqui—you’re brilliant! 🐾❤️”
“Wow , what can i say about Radleys stay. He has been so well looked after and treated like their own. Hes been to lots of great places to walk, play and swim.He was welcomed by Rocky and they became firm friends. Sam and Max are such nice people , who sent videos and photos of Radley and Rockys adventures. Highly recomend and we will be using them again soon. Thanks again xx”
“Amy was brilliant, so welcoming and great communication start to finish. Goose clearly felt happy and he was the calmest he's been when we've picked him up from anywhere! Absolutely would recommend and we'll be booking again in the future 😊”
“Ruby had another great stay with Poppy and her parents. She was excited to see them again. I am confident she gets the care I would give her at home and that's what you need when having to leave your pet under someone else's supervision. She loves the company of other dogs so it is a real treat for her. Poppy is a bit older and a good role model I think!”
“Thank you for having Zazu. She has a blast we enjoyed receiving regular pup dates on how she was and you were responsive and helpful from the point of enquiry to completion of the booking”
“Adam and his partner have been very understanding with taking care of my dad's dog over the weekend; they made sure they stuck to his schedule and comforted him when he was feeling a little lonely! Very accommodating and would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Jessica was fabulous with my Theo, and looked after him for 6 days. During this time, she sent me updates and pictures, which were greatly appreciated. Jessica was flexible and accommodated my requests to maintain Theo's habits and routine, which was also greatly appreciated. When I went to pick Theo up, I could see how happy he has been whilst staying with Jessica and I will certainly book her again 🙏❤️🐶”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover living in Higherford with my 14 year-old son, Billy. We both love spending time with dogs and treat every pet that stays with us as part of the family. We previously owned a lovely Whippet, so we understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. We currently dog sit for friends and have loved every minute of it, so we’ve decided to open our home to more furry guests through Rover. Our home has a secure garden and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for plenty of walks, fresh air, and adventures. I enjoy fell walking and keeping fit, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention, and affection. We also have our friendly tripod cat, Seth, who is used to dogs and can be kept completely separate from visiting pets if needed. I know every dog is different, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐶 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m around for most of the day to provide plenty of company, care, and regular toilet breaks. This also means I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine, whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of attention throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have front and back gardens for fresh air and outdoor time, along with a bright conservatory that’s perfect for dogs who love to relax and soak up the sunshine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog will have plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I always follow each owner’s instructions and routine to help every dog feel safe, settled, and at home
“We’ve had a Stanley stay with Rachel a couple of times now and he’s loved staying with her and her family. They really fuss over and pamper him and send us regular pics and updates which is lovely. We can highly recommend Rachel and will definitely be using her again!”

About: I love cats and my landlady has a black cat called Thomas, I am responsible for looking after him if the landlady is away, feeding him, giving him love and attention and so on. In the past I have done dog sitting for friends for weeks at a time and it is just so great for me to go out on big long walks in nature every day with a dog. I am definitely an animal person :) I am currently looking for part time work, I am therefore completely free at the moment and will still be very free even when working as it will just be a few hours per week. I am very engaging with pets, I make sure to feed them the correct food and correct amount, I know alot of people can overfeed pets and this is something I make sure not to do. If they have a set routine of meal times, play time, walking times, I am happy to stick with that routine. I am very clean and tidy, I cook alot and I always clean up. I am pretty quiet and chilled, a good person to be around your pets.

About: I’ve been a pet sitter all over the world and have cared for all kinds of animals, from goats and budgies to Great Danes. I’m experienced with reactive dogs, larger breeds, and pets with different personalities and needs, although most of my experience is with cats and dogs. I truly love all animals, and nothing makes me happier than a home full of fur family. Since I don’t have pets of my own at the moment, I feel very lucky to be able to give all that love and care to yours. I’m currently studying from home, so pet care fits in very naturally with my daily routine. I love getting out for walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening, which means pets in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, and company throughout the day. My afternoon walk is usually at least two hours, while morning walks tend to be around 30 to 60 minutes, so I’m well set up for dogs who enjoy regular outdoor time I always aim to make pets feel safe, settled, and loved, whether they are in my home or their own. I take time to understand each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements, and any behavioural needs, so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m very mindful of safety on walks and in the home, especially with reactive dogs or larger breeds, and I always make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and well supervised. In a pet owner’s home, I treat both the space and the animals with great respect, keeping everything clean, calm, and consistent. My goal is always to give pets plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance so they feel happy and cared for while you’re away.
“Vicky was the best doggy friend for our french bulldog, he had the best time ever, and Vicky was so flexible and we were late back to pick him up and Vicky very kindly was so kind. We would 100% recommend.”

About: I have taken care of many of my friends dogs whilst they go on holiday(s) over the last 5 years. This has included two beautiful, high energy spaniels and older Dachshunds. I work from home and have a spaniel myself so I’m constantly out and about making sure they have the best day. I wake up around 5.45 on week days and take George (my spaniel) on a nice 5k walk along the canal. I work from home so will get my morning meetings out of the way, let George out in the back yard in between. I usually walk to the local park at lunch which is around 2.5k round trip. And after work, depending on what I have planned we usually are out and about places. Quick walk around the block just before we go to bed. I have a fenced yard. Plenty of room in the kitchen to keep a cage. A ring camera that overlooks into the kitchen for if I need to nip out to the shops. And George is the most loving companion, he has been so socialised since I’ve had him that he loves having other dogs over for sleepovers.
“Absolutely a legend person! He took care of my dog while I was working at 5:30am! And bring him back to my house. If you are working early hours and need someone to look after your dog THIS IS THE PERSON! I cannot wait to book with him once again!”
“Joanna was absolutely fantastic with Millie we couldn't have found anyone better to look after her. Joanna came a week before our party and took Millie for a walk and she loved Joanna from the start, she really knows dogs and understands them. On the day of our party Joanna came on time to pick her up, she took her up into the town and the park, Joanna even took some photo's of her and had two printed off for us. She has undoubtedly gone over and above to make us feel relaxed ( it was the first time we have left her with anyone) and for making an enjoyable day for Millie. No question about it we will use Joanna for more parties. X”
“Sophie was so quick to respond on the app and keep me updated all day! She was flexible and worked around what I needed!! She was gentle and kind with Hugo and he had the best day!”
“Merlin loved his first day with Carrie and her lovely dog Bella - they had loads of outdoor time and plenty of time for snoozing too, he can’t wait to come back and so glad to have someone local who he enjoys the company of! 💚”
“Samantha's partner Max looked after Bobby. It was a meet and greet for everyone so we could use Samantha and Max again, I felt happy leaving Bobby there and both dogs seemed to be happy with each other. I will definitely leave Bobby again.”
About: I have looked after a variety of dogs and my 2 fur babies are a Siberian Husky, who loves to play with other dogs and a Patterdale Terrier, who just loves to be warm and cosy under the covers!

“Leah is amazing, she is incredibly responsive and provides regular updates which keeps my mind at ease. Toby absolutely loves her and I can tell he has a fantastic time with Leah. He is such an energetic boy but he seems to be relaxed with Leah which is great. I can’t recommend her enough, whenever we need our pooch looking after Leah is the first person I go to! Thanks so much.”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering full-time dog sitting and home boarding services. Dogs have always been a massive part of my life. I was the proud owner of three wonderful Jack Russells. We spent years going on endless adventures, long walks, and exploring the outdoors together. Sadly, they have all since passed away, but having them in my life showed me just how much joy dogs bring to every day. Losing them made me realise that working with dogs isn't just something I love doing in my spare time, it's what I want to do full-time. Coming from a Jack Russell background, I know firsthand that dogs need both physical exercise and mental stimulation! Whether your dog loves energetic countryside strolls or gentle neighborhood sniffs, I’ll match their ideal pace. I treat every dog in my care like family, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and thoroughly loved while you're away. I’d love to learn all about your dog’s personality, daily routine, and favorite things. Feel free to send me a message so we can chat or set up a Meet & Greet Whether your dog thrives on an early morning trek, a mid-day leg stretch, or an evening stroll, I can completely adapt to their existing routine. I’m available to spend quality time with them throughout the day, making sure they feel relaxed and secure. Moving to a new environment can sometimes be overwhelming. I have a cozy, dedicated room set up specifically to help dogs settle in at their own pace until they feel completely confident and at ease. Our garden is completely fenced and secure, giving your dog a safe space to stretch their legs, sniff around, and enjoy some outdoor playtime with total peace of mind. Once they’re settled, they have complete freedom throughout the home! They are more than welcome to cuddle up on the furniture, lounge on the sofa, and make themselves right at home.

In the past I have done dog sitting for friends for weeks at a time and it is just so great for me to go out on big long walks in nature every day with a dog. I am definitely an animal person :) I am currently looking for part time work, I am therefore completely free at the moment and will still be very free even when working as it will just be a few hours per week. I am very engaging with pets, I make sure to feed them the correct food and correct amount, I know alot of people can overfeed pets and this is something I make sure not to do. If they have a set routine of meal times, play time, walking times, I am happy to stick with that routine. I am very clean and tidy, I cook alot and I always clean up. I am pretty quiet and chilled, a good person to be around your pets.

Although I am available at you first asking it is not a definite booked unless payed to Rover and will be marked as still available till then.

About: Since childhood, I have always had a family dog, so being around and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering most weekends at Holly Hedge Dog Sanctuary, whenever my work schedule allows. During my time there, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs, each with different personalities and needs. This experience has not only shown my love for animals but has also helped me develop a strong confidence in looking after dogs and understanding their behavior. It's something I really enjoy and feel passionate about. My work schedule changes each week, so feel free to send me a message! Your dog will always be my top priority, and I will make sure to find time to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently living in military accommodation on Catterick Camp. While my living area isn’t very spacious, I can guarantee that your dog will receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure to take them out for walks in a secure and safe environment where they can enjoy themselves. Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I want to ensure they have the exercise, love and attention they need.

“Thank you for looking after my boy 🤗. Sharon is a lovely lady with a nice place and a secure garden, which was ideal for an older dog with mobility issues. There was no issue with any of my requests, and whenever I asked, I always received a reply assuring me that everything was fine. Unfortunately, I did not meet Steven, but that doesn't change the fact that they took good care of him. I will definitely use them again in the future if needed.”
About: Our experience with dogs 🐾 Ellie has always had dogs and has experience with a wide range of breeds, including rescue dogs with different backgrounds and needs. She also set up her own rescue, Praxie’s Promise, through which she has helped rehome hundreds of dogs. She is Canine First Aid trained and has a real understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with patience, care and a safe, loving environment. Gethin has always grown up around pets and has plenty of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, we have regularly looked after friends’ dogs, from walks and day-to-day care to having them stay with us while they're on holiday. Between us, we have a great deal of experience with dogs of different personalities, breeds and needs, and we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family. We both work shifts, but Gethin works from home full-time, so there will always be someone around to care for your dog and provide company throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of attention, affection and company while staying with us. We’re both active people and enjoy getting out for walks, so we’re happy to provide as much exercise and outdoor time as your dog needs, whether that’s relaxed walks or something more energetic. We are both very flexible and happy to fit into your dogs schedule, whatever they need! We also have our own dog, Chevy, who is 11 years old and very calm and friendly. He is very adaptable to all kinds of dog personalities and is used to being around dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. We’ll make sure every dog staying with us gets the attention, exercise and care they need, while also giving them the space and time to settle in and feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with a fully enclosed 5ft fenced garden, giving dogs safe access to fresh air and outdoor space throughout the day whenever they need it. As Gethin works from home, there will usually be someone around throughout the day, meaning dogs won’t be left alone for long periods. With Ellie’s extensive experience caring for and rehoming dogs, including rescue dogs with a variety of personalities you can feel confident that your dog is in experienced and caring hands. We have kept our own dogs safe for 20+ years and your dogs will be looked after like one of our own. We’ll introduce dogs to Chevy carefully and at their own pace. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and will keep you updated during their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and well cared for.
“Baz took great care of my dog. The dog seemed sad to leave! We received some pictures and a video of our dog which were welcome but we weren't bombarded by them. Baz comes across as lovely bloke and would happily rebook and recommend”
“Sophie is a life saver. She agreed to take care of my dogs as a replacement sitter for an urgent situation that happened while I am away abroad. She described my dogs as easy to handle, while I know that Russell (who is almost 17 yo) is sometimes not very easy. Sophie is patient and understands the need of a senior dog. She is a very reliable, responsible sitter. Thank you so much.”
“Amy was brilliant, so welcoming and great communication start to finish. Goose clearly felt happy and he was the calmest he's been when we've picked him up from anywhere! Absolutely would recommend and we'll be booking again in the future 😊”
“Thank you for having Zazu. She has a blast we enjoyed receiving regular pup dates on how she was and you were responsive and helpful from the point of enquiry to completion of the booking”
“We would absolutely recommend Andrew and Nicky. We are bowled over with how much love and attention they have provided for our 13 year old schnauzer. He has come back in great form. Andrew and Nicky followed all our guidance and adjusted care to incorporate an older dogs requirements…we were so reassured by all they did for him ; especially during a heat wave. We will definitely be using their services again if we need them. Thanks ☺️”
About: Your pet will become part of the family, and be cared for with lots of love and attention during the stay, as the owner you get regular updates and with years of experience and qualifications like pet first aid, your loved one will have the best holiday of their own. I'm at home full time, so your pet becomes part of the day, for the full day. From morning walks to lots of stimulation and play outside in the garden, they will have the best time. The garden is fenced and secure with double airlock system so no one can sneak out. It's fully concreted and cleaned multiple times a day. Air Conditioning cools and warms inside as needed and there's lots of space for them to stretch out if needed.
“Leah was great with our 8 month old Cocker. She sent loads of photos and videos and Kiko clearly had a great time. In the build up to taking her (her first visit) she was responsive and friendly and we took Kiko to see if she got on well with Leahs pugs. We think Kiko may have had a better holiday than us! 😄 We would definitely use Leah again.”
“Aidan is lovely - we booked rather last minute and Honey normally goes to Kennels and sulks for a few days afterwards, BUT this was a completely different experience she was so calm, happy and content when we collected, no sulking! We knownHoney had an equally good weekend and its was great to check in and know she was happy ! Thank you will rebook !!”
“I can’t speak highly enough of Gemma. She is clearly a huge animal lover, but she is also experienced, knowledgeable and professional. She made time to get to know Rafa’s particular needs/likes before he went to stay with her, and we felt completely confident leaving him with her. She kept us updated on what Rafa was doing, and it was clear that he was having an amazing time with Gemma and her son, who was also absolutely wonderful with him. Rafa can’t wait to go back to stay with them!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Rachel made Bertie ( and myself) so welcome. I was kept informed with pictures, videos and little updates so that I could relax and know my furbaby was happy. Would not hesitate to recommend and will use again. Thank you so much Rachel and family.”
“What a lovely family who have looked after Mabel like she was their own. I have had some amazing updates of the adventures Mabel was taken on and she looked so happy on them all. When I went to pick Mabel up she was wondering round the house like she lived there, no better feeling than knowing your dog feels safe. I would use Emma and her lovely family to look after Mabel again without thinking twice. Thank you all for the fab experience.”
“Phillip absolutely loved his time with Charlotte! We received loads of pictures and videos, he was really made to feel like one of the family. She took him out to pub gardens, on loads of lovely walks and even on a train ride. Phil came home relaxed and happy, we can tell he had loads of love and attention. We will definitely be booking again.”
About: Throughout my whole life, i have grown up with all sorts of animals from dogs and cats to alpacas! I have 3 dogs in my family home who i help look after alongside my mum and have quite a flexible job which would allow me to look after other peoples dogs too. I have dealt with all types of personalities from agressive/nervous/reactive dogs to crazy/frantic/excited ones! And i love them all. Willing to take on anything and give them the best walks/visits with lots of attention. I'm currently working Monday to Friday in Summerbridge where the hours are flexible therefore able to walk/visit dogs during my lunch break (1hour), before work and after. If needed i can leave at anytime. I have lots and lots of private land! Unlimited running around in a fenced area - perfect for dogs who can't be let off the lead regularly. Also have a kennel area but most dogs would be in the house with my other 3.
“Amazing from start to finish.. totally understood Bruno which can be challenging sometimes 😂. Loads of updates and photos when we were away which we loved. He came back super happy. Would definitely use Joe again! ❤️”
“Oslo has stayed with Amanda a few times now. He is always very excited to return. He receives great care and Amanda provides updates and photos at least once a day. Would highly recommend.”
