“I met John and Marion prior to agreeing them looking after my dog Mercy. They made me and Mercy very welcome and I was reassured I was leaving her with lovely ppl. I was away for 12 days and they sent pics of her whilst away. On returning I picked Mercy up and am completely satisfied she has been looked after very well. Thankyou both. I would not hesitate with using their service again”
“My doggo had a great time boarding with Sára! Would happily recommend. She gave lots of updates with many pics, was punctual and took care of his meds awell. He was also sad to see her leave lol, so thats a good indication of their time together.”
“Sally is a brilliant dog sitter. My dog is very nervous around new people but after recieving our first photo update, I could see how relaxed and happy she was with Sally. Thank you for taking good care of my pooch ❤️”
“Jack was so wonderful and patient with Cora! She's definitely not the easiest of pups (anxious, high energy) but Jack was very open and kept us in the loop with how she was doing plenty of times. His communication really put us at ease and we felt confident our doggy was in safe hands. He asked all the right questions beforehand to make sure Cora was cared for as closely as she is at home and even treated her to a big walk out in the peaks! Jack has a dog seat belt attachment in his car so Cora was properly transported. She came home clean and happy and we couldn't have hoped for anything better. He listened to any care instructions and advice we gave him and even prepared treats for when she arrived. We'll definitely consider Jack again in future as he's a lovely lad too and very reasonably priced.”
“5 stars-as always! What a great dog sitter Erin is. I feel completely at ease every time we leave our beautiful boy Marley with Erin and Skye! Lots of gorgeous dog walks for him and cuddles at night on the sofa. We are so pleased that we found Erin and would not want to leave our precious bundle of fur with anyone else now. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Erin. Top class service 👍🏻👍🏻☺️☺️❤️❤️”
“Jackal had a lovely stay , our first time leaving him with someone who isn't family and he was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Will definitely be booking for him to stay again!”
About: I’ve owned and lived with dogs my whole life, and have plenty of experience looking after dogs for family and friends over the years. I’m most experienced with small to medium-sized breeds, but I’m also very comfortable around larger dogs. I have my own Labradoodle, Bear, at home, so I’m used to the everyday responsibilities of caring for a dog and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m an active person and love getting out for walks or runs and exploring with the dogs in my care. Whether they’re looking for a long walk and plenty of exercise or are happier taking things at a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to what suits them. For me, looking after a dog is about more than simply keeping them safe. I want them to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family while they’re with me, with plenty of attention, play and affection along the way. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated as part of the family and won’t be left on their own for long periods. My wife and I both work on a hybrid basis, so there will always be someone at home. We’ll only accept a booking when one of us is available to be there. We’re both active and enjoy getting out with the dogs, so you can expect regular walks throughout the day — usually in the morning, around midday and again in the afternoon. We have plenty of nearby fields, woodland and open spaces, giving us lots of opportunities for longer walks and exploring. There’s also regular access to our garden for some fresh air, playtime or simply relaxing outside. Bear will usually join us for walks and play, giving dogs the opportunity to have a companion during their stay. Of course, we’ll always take introductions at the dogs’ own pace and can keep them separated if that’s more comfortable or preferred. For overnight stays, your dog will be welcome to sleep with Bear, or we can provide a separate space if they prefer their own space or need to be kept apart. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a completely secure garden, with plenty of space for dogs to enjoy some fresh air and play safely. Dogs will usually spend time with Bear, including on walks and around the house. Bear is incredibly soft and sweet natured. But we do understand that not every dog will be comfortable living alongside another dog. We’re able to keep dogs separated whenever needed or preferred, and we’ll always take introductions slowly and follow your dog’s temperament and routine. We also have the flexibility to use a crate or a large, covered area that can be fully enclosed, giving dogs a safe and comfortable space of their own when they need some quiet time. Above all, we’re responsible, sensible and professional people who genuinely love dogs. We’ll take the time to understand your dog, follow the instructions you leave us and make sure they’re safe, happy and well cared for throughout their stay.
“Cannot recommend Megan enough! Megan looked after my girl Lola and did such a great job, she came home so happy and well looked after. She was so proactive and made sure she had all the info she needed to take good care of her, it made us feel confident we had made the right choice. Lola is quite nervous but she settled in well which was such a good sign for us. We got updates throughout her stay which put our minds at ease, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay for Lola.”
“Mason has had Goober twice now each time Mason has cared for him so well. The second time he bounced into Mason with excitement. This always makes me happy. Mason has always been in contact with any questions and letting us know how he is. I would highly recommend Goober loved his walks and visit to the pub!”
“Danielle had a great rapport with Phife straightaway at our meet up before the booking, so when it came to our weekend away we felt really comfortable and it all went well for Phife, communication was great too!”
About: Hi, I'm Sam. I love cats and dogs equally - I'm a firm believer that it doesn't have to be either/or! I grew up in a house with cats of very different personalities - one who was as quiet as a mouse and the other who was a dyed-in-the-fur neighbourhood bruiser. I've also spent a lot of time around dogs since I was a young kid, from digging holes in the garden with my childminder's Border Collie to looking after my friend's Beagle for long weekends and taking him on the Sheffield Round Walk. I've always wanted a dog of my own and I'm just waiting for the day when it becomes practical. (Unfortunately my partner is not a cat person, so the dream of having both is unlikely...) I'm a caring, responsible and responsive pet lover who is confident around animals of different shapes, sizes and temperaments. I understand that cats and dogs are deceptively complex, so they require a personalised approach. I'm currently very flexible for home visits of dogs and cats, and walks for dogs. I'm based in Heeley, S2. I'm new to Rover but I take the job seriously. I'm also keen to meet and greet to make sure we're both comfortable before committing to anything. I can't wait to get to know your cat and/or dog! I'm currently out of work so I'm super flexible. My son (5) absolutely loves dogs too so sometimes he'll be able to tag along. Our garden is nice and secure. Whenever we have a dog staying we close the upstairs doors so they don't have free rein, and generally they sleep in the living room.
“Darcy and her partner are both clearly very experienced with dogs. They're super friendly but, most importantly, they clearly absolutely love having dogs to stay. My lad got on like a house on fire with Teddy, their resident dog, who was gorgeous. They have a secure garden and the ability to separate the dogs in the house of required. I was really impressed and pleased; Darcy was really communicative and sent several updates over only a 1 day stay. I would recommend 10/10!”
“Amy and her partner were absolutely brilliant. They arranged to meet up with me before the boarding so that my dog could meet theirs. Communication was fantastic and my doggy seemed to have a lovely time having a sleepover 😊 Will definitely book again”
“Karolina was absolutely lovely! She cared for Pumpkin so well, I could tell from the updates and videos she was completely settled, with all her cutest and cheekiest personality traits shining through. Karolina was really easy going and made sure Pumpkin had a chance to meet her and sniff her home before the stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Pumpkin with her again.”
“Demi was brilliant sent photos and a video of Kia my fur baby she made herself comfortable on the sofa with Demi husband and made my time leaving with them so easy Kia got sulks on with me when I got her home because she had such a good time playing with Demi dog and cats. Definitely recommend Demi to any dog owners who after leave there pets whilst they are away. Thank you Demi I think Kia would like to come back for another good time.”
About: I have had experience with cats and dogs on and off my whole life. I had a cat (Tinkerbell) when I was younger and more recently my brother and sister in law gained three beautiful dogs ( two cavapoos and a dachshund) a tortoise called Sheldon and 5 chickens. I have helped look after all these for them and I absolutely love it .I would love my own dog but can't at present due to work/family commitments. However I would love to take care of one in my free time. I live alone majority of the time, but co parent my children. The availability I offer is based on work and my child free days. My hobbies are walking, reading and spending time with my partner and friends. Im Very excited and can't wait to meet your beloved doggies ☺️ I work from home on a Thursday and Friday so these and the weekend would be the days I would be mostly available. I have a lunch break and will work downstairs so I can attend to the animals needs and extra cuddles ☺️ I own my home and have no pets currently. I share custody of my three daughters but the availability will be based on when I don't have them. I have a fenced garden and plenty of indoor space for them. I'm not a ornament/trinket kind of gal so they have pretty much free reign downstairs and outside.

“Fantastic person! Lauren took amazing care of my 2 cats and while we were away for the weekend. And she sent lots of photo and video updates! Would absolutely book again. Thanks Lauren :)”
“Lucy and Jim Brill communication throughout. Caring nature towards our cat. Our cat definitely took a shine to them straight away. Reassurance throughout by regular updates. Would recommend and would book again.”
About: I currently have 3 boy cats, 2 from kittens and a 2 year old boy from foster who we have adopted. They own our house and even have the walls 😂 I’m very respectful of boundaries with animals and that helps them trust me so we can interact safely. I help with local charities and some money from this will be donated to the causes ❤️
“Mason was incredibly helpful, stepping in to take care of our cats on short notice while we dealt with a family emergency. He was very capable and gave us regular updates to let us know the cats were fine which was very important to us as we didn’t have the mental space to be worrying about them as well. Our cats are a little skittish, and he managed that just fine, making sure that they were well cared for.”
“We couldn’t recommend Megan enough! She provided thorough updates daily, tended to all tasks requested. Our cat isn’t the friendliest but she gave us assurance that he was happy & taken care of. We are extremely grateful for her.”
About: I’ve have had cats all my life and I have volunteered in a cat shelter. I know that all cats have different personalities and have different needs and I have experience with many of them,I will work with you to make sure they get the best care. I understand how stressed cats can be when placed in a cattery, and I believe they are much better cared for in the place they are familar.
“Georgia was absolutely brilliant and we would highly recommend her. She checked on the pussks for each visit and let us know where they were in the house when she visited, washed up their food bowls (even though we said to just stick them in the dishwasher) and even removed the poo bags (even though we said to stick them in the kitchen bin). All in all, it was wonderful to come home to a clean, fragrant house and two very happy, well looked-after pussks.”
About: I’m a relatively new cat owner to my amazing kitten, but before getting him, I did a mountain of research into cat behavior and care! I completely understand that cats need patience, a calm vibe, and their own space to feel safe.What I offer:Kitten experience: I know exactly how much energy and playtime little ones need.Patient approach: I’m great at reading their body language and letting them set the pace.Reliability: I'll stick to your exact feeding and litter routine.I’d love to drop in and keep your cat company while you're away!
About: I love cats and currently have two cute kittens (who sometimes don’t mind wearing Christmas hats as you can see in the photo!). I’ve previously enjoyed a family cat and always enjoy having them around.
About: Hi! My name is Tereza, and I’m a lifelong cat lover who works from home — which means I can give your cat the time, attention, and care they truly deserve. I have experience looking after cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to older cats who need a gentler touch. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can stick to your cat’s exact routine, provide regular playtime, keep their space tidy, and make sure they get plenty of affection (if they want it!). I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I treat every cat as if they were my own, and my goal is always to provide a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for them while you’re gone. I am currently a proud mummy of a gorgeous ginger boy 😺
About: I’ve had several cats over the years and seen them in all their life stages. I raised my ginger Tom from 3 weeks old and bottle fed him through the night. He’s now 7 and is a typical ginger monkey! I also have a 5 year old ragdoll girl who loves a groom and a fuss. I have a valid canine first aid certificate but in most instances the same first aid methods apply to cats too
“Came to our house everyday to take care of our cats and did a great job! Fed them both, gave them treats and cleaned the litter. We got updates every day with pictures so we could see them while we were away. The cats seemed to have a good time. Would book again. :)”
About: I’ve sat many cats at people homes during my work experience and loved it! as well as my experience i’ve had cats of my own throughout my growing up and have a passion for caring about them, its always been my dream. i’m here to provide the best care whilst you cannot
“Ryan was lovely with blade and layla whilst I was at work give them treats put fresh water down played with them. Sent me photos of both and even cleaned up after one had a accident during that heatwave last week was so kind of him. Blade and layla love him only met several times but it will be a on going thing several times whilst im out working but he was brilliant with them.”
About: A Lifetime of Cat Love. Your Baby, Cared For & Captured. My love for cats isn't just a job it's a lifetime habit. Growing up, our home was always filled with purring companions, teaching me the unique language and needs of every feline friend. When you choose me, your cat isn't just a client; they become one of my own. I believe in attentive, personalized care: engaging in their favorite games, providing daily brushing for comfort and bonding, and offering all the snuggles or respectful space they desire. As a passionate photographer, I include complimentary photo updates with every visit. You'll receive beautiful, candid snapshots of your contented kitty, so you never miss a moment and can see firsthand how they're thriving. You can relax knowing your beloved baby is in safe, experienced, and loving hands. Let's connect so I can learn all about your cat's unique personality
About: I have two cats of my own and take a lot of care to make sure they are happy, healthy and stimulated. They have multiple food and water bowls, a water fountain and an automatic feeder, with wet food given twice daily. I make sure they have plenty of interaction and stimulation through interactive toys, treats such as dental sticks and even putting on bird or wildlife programmes on TV, which they love watching. I’m confident reading cat body language and understanding when a cat wants attention, playtime or simply some space. I believe cats should be allowed to approach you in their own time and feel comfortable and safe.
About: I am a huge dog lover and have been taking care of them professionally for the last few years but have had pups my entire life. I have lots of experience of walking and caring for all different kinds of doggos, big and small, with various needs and personalities. I promise to care for your fur babies as I do my own, with lots of love and play and will give them a home away from home where they can relax and feel comfortable. I’m currently fully available for walks any day of the week. Whether this be for a regular same time walk or a last minute one off. I would treat your pets just like I treat my own, with lots of love and play. I am used to caring for dogs of all ages, I recently lost my Peaches at the age of 12, she had a push chair and needed extra time on her walks. Whilst my Pru at age 3 and Folly at 10 months are both full of energy and zoomies.
About: I’ve always had cats, always had dogs all my life. If I’m honest they help me, support me and generally make me happy. I’m recently retired, doing some dog walking and boarding under the Proper Dog Walking Co. I’ve recently started the Proper Cat Feeding Service. The use of the word proper is a bit tongue in cheek and relates to something my dad used to say about dogs needing a proper walk. I have two Main Coons and 3 dogs. I take their care seriously and would like to help where I can.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I was raised in farmhouse where we used to have many animals. Pets were treated as proper family members, not only addition to our house. As a dog lover, I would like to provide real, loving home for your little fella while you are away, so you can enjoy your stay without any worries. PS. your dog will enjoy it too ! 😊 Currently, I stay at home with our little boy, so we have plenty of time to take care of new quest in our home. Me and little Jacob would love to have some company to fill our day with walks and play time. I am available 7 days a week. We have got big, properly fenced garden and plenty of free time- that's the best combination 😊If you have got any questions, please feel free to ask.
“Ellie was brilliant taking care of Otis. She was very accommodating agreeing to meeting him before the daycare day and she sent me lots of updates throughout the day. I felt very confident leaving Otis there and looks like he had a fab time. Thank you Ellie!”
About: I grew up with a dog as our family pet, and trained and looked after her as I became a young adult. Although we don't have a dog as a family pet now, I often care for and walk family and friends dogs (especially when they go on holiday). I am the father of an active family (two teenage daughters) who love being outdoors, going for regular walks in the countryside, so having a dog to care for would be the perfect fit for me. Currently, I work from home every day of the week, so timing will not be an issue for me. I can be flexible and work around your needs. I do not currently own a dog. We care for friends and family dogs at our house from time to time. We do have a pet Lizard!
About: I am currently a full time speech and language therapy student but I am doing this for the animals so I know I will make time. I'm free on evenings and weekends fully and I can fit in morning/lunchtime visits. I have my own flat which is roomy but it will mean that the animal only has to get used to and trust me. When I'm in your home, I try to adapt and follow your expectations and ideas as I know that everyone is different and has different levels of comfort of trusting someone in their house. I will water your plants and open the blinds but generally I try to leave it just as you left it.
“Marie carried out Doggy day care for our dog whilst we were away and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the service provided. Nothing was too much trouble and we were kept up dated which was really nice. We will definitely be booking again.”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have grown up with dogs throughout my life, including Bruno the Alsatian, Smudge the Lurcher, Carter the Husky and Finley the Working Cocker Spaniel.

Aaron grew up with family cats, Nigel and Jess, and has also regularly cared for dogs belonging to family and friends. Between us, we have lots of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats and genuinely enjoy making pets feel comfortable, settled and loved while their owners are away.

Between us, we make sure pets are have plenty of time for play, cuddles, walks and their usual routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort and routine will always come first. We provide a calm, clean and welcoming home where pets are treated like part of the family, with plenty of supervision, attention and affection throughout their stay. We have a fully fenced garden, tall enough to ensure your pets safety. We’ll follow your instructions closely around feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements, medication and any individual needs or boundaries. We’re also happy to send regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is settled, comfortable and being genuinely well cared for.

About: I grew up in a household with both dogs and cats, and like I always say, a house without them is not a home. They are our "other" children. You can rely on me to love your pets as if they were my own, to care for them, play with them, walk them, bathe them, brush them, give them their medication. My current work is from home, and part time, so I feel like I have all the time in the world, and not much to fill it with, now that my child is grown up. My garden is spacious and fenced, and inside my home pets are allowed everywhere. Unless otherwise specified by the owner, they sleep on my bed, lay on my couch, play with my child's old plushies.

I am patient with nervous pets, energetic with playful pets, and gentle with older pets who need extra care. Your pet will be treated with love, attention and kindness just like family. I take pet safety seriously and always aim to create a calm, clean and positive environment. I have a flexible schedule and can provide loving, reliable care throughout the week and weekends.

I’ve got plenty of experience with animals of all sizes and breeds, so I’ll make sure your pet gets all the attention, exercise, and care they need.

I have a female dog who loves other dogs. I also have 2 spayed female cats and a toddler.
About: I am a new addition to the sitters on ROVER however, I own a dog myself and have always been really good with animals - especially dogs. It would be great for my dog to also be able to socialise with another dog if booking the boarding option. Great with training, rewards, attention to detail and most importantly...affection!

“I honestly can’t thank Stacey enough for the amazing care she gave Ozzy while I was at work. Leaving your dog with someone else can be worrying, but she made me feel completely at ease from day one. Stacey kept me updated with lots of lovely photos and messages throughout the day, so I always knew Ozzy was happy and having the best time. It was obvious she cared for him as if he were her own, giving him so much love, attention, and care. The biggest sign of all was on the second day—Ozzy couldn’t wait to get back and actually ran straight to her house with his tail wagging! That told me everything I needed to know about how comfortable and happy he was with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stacey to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy, Ozzy.”
About: Our Labrador Benji has come such a long way! When we rescued him two years ago, he was anxious and struggled with trust. Today, he's the sweetest, most playful boy you'll meet. His journey taught us patience, compassion, and what dogs truly need to thrive. We'll give your dog that same dedication—plus a built-in playmate who never says no to a game of fetch! As a work-from-home couple, we're around virtually all day—your pup will never be alone! We welcome guests on weekdays and weekends. Benji gets two daily walks to our local park, and your dog will join us. Off-lead dogs can enjoy fetch and play sessions together, while dogs who prefer staying on-lead will get quality walking time and gentle companionship at their own pace. Between walks, we will be relaxing at home with access to our fenced garden as well as treats! As we work from home, there is always someone around. The dogs will have access to our fenced garden for their needs or to play. Plenty of toys and napping spots are available too!
“Our labrador husky stopped with Erin back in March for the day. She had a great time playing with skye and was well looked after. Would recommend Erin to anyone who needs doggy day care.”
“Just fantastic! I can’t recommend Joseph enough. It was the first time we’ve ever left Alf with anyone new and he had the best time. When we picked Alf up he was so relaxed and settled and Joseph and his family were so kind and loving to our boy. It was so wonderful to see. Alf will definitely be back! Thank you ?”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both large and small breeds, from German Shepherds to little terriers. I currently have a 6-month-old Sprocker Spaniel, so I’m very familiar with the energy, enthusiasm, and affection that dogs bring into our lives. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely love, whether that’s taking them on long walks, playing with them, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to know their pet is in safe, caring hands. Alongside caring for healthy, active dogs, I also have experience looking after senior dogs with mobility issues, ensuring they receive the patience, support, and extra care they need. I’ve cared for rescue dogs, helped build confidence in dogs struggling with social anxiety, and supported dogs with medical conditions, including epilepsy, always following owners’ guidance and routines closely. My experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and needs has helped me become adaptable, attentive, and confident in providing the individual care each dog deserves. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the day. I have my own dog, so caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine. We enjoy three walks a day (one long walk and two shorter walks), along with playtime, training sessions, enrichment activities, and lots of cuddles. I like to pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy levels, and mood so I can tailor their day to what they enjoy most and what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I take the time to get to know each dog’s routine, preferences, and needs to help them feel secure and settled. Whether caring for pets in my home or in their owner’s home, I ensure they receive regular exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, fresh water, feeding according to instructions, and plenty of affection. I always monitor how a dog is feeling and adapt activities to suit their energy level and comfort, while maintaining a safe and trustworthy environment at all times.
“Really great to visit my home city of Sheffield and to be able to leave the dog. Thanks for all the great photos and updates and for the late evening booking so we could go out with friends - it was great knowing the dog was being taken care of so well! 🐾🐾”

“I can’t recommend Leyton highly enough. Sid stayed with him for doggy daycare during the weekdays while I was away on holiday, with my partner dropping him off on his way to work and collecting him at the end of the day. Sid is a Staffy and a strong dog, so one of the things that was important to me when choosing someone was finding a sitter who was confident and comfortable looking after and walking a bigger, stronger dog. I had absolutely no worries with Leyton. Sid clearly loved his time there. He had walks, plenty of playtime and always came home happy and completely worn out, which is definitely a good sign! Leyton also fed him his morning and evening meals and gave him his medication, which made things so much easier for us. I really appreciated getting a lovely update at the end of each day telling me what Sid had been up to and how he’d got on. It was very reassuring being away and knowing he was happy and being properly looked after. Sid was unfortunately attacked by another dog while out with my partner over the weekend. When he went back to Leyton on the Monday, Leyton took such good care of him and kept a close eye on him, which I really appreciated. It was also obvious that Leyton genuinely enjoyed having Sid there, rather than it simply feeling like a dog-sitting service. Sid clearly felt comfortable and happy with him too. We’ll definitely be using Leyton again, not just for holidays but for the odd day when we’re going to be out for a long time and don’t want Sid home alone all day. Highly recommended. Thank you, Leyton, for taking such good care of our boy! 🐾”
“Obie has been to Millie’s twice now and really loves it there. When we pull up outside Obie scrambles as the car window in excitement. Millie looks after Obie well and is attentive to her needs and the situation on the day. I am disabled and would struggle to get out of the car to a front door so Millie has been really accommodating by coming out and taking Obie from the car. Will carry on using and recommend!”

About: I am an animal lover, I have previously worked in a family ran kennels. I also have my own experience with owning a mixed breed reactive dog. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I plan my day around making sure my pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and enrichment. This makes it easy for me to fit caring for other pets into my schedule. I always follow each pet owner’s routine and instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, ensuring they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise and playtime. I have had previous experience working in a family run kennels working with a range of breeds and temperaments. As I’m currently looking for my next job opportunity, I have a flexible schedule and excellent availability, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. This means I can be reliable, accommodate a variety of booking times where possible, and ensure your pets are never rushed during visits.

“Megan was amazing. My puppy Barney loved her. She was very conscientious about making sure it wasn’t too hot for a walk and when it was she played with him inside instead. I really appreciated her updates and communication. Would definitely recommend her and use her again.”
About: To me, our pets are our babies! So I will always treat your beloved animals as precious members of your family. I’ve grown up looking after a large array of animals from chickens to donkeys. I love all animals but my main passion is dogs. I have studied dog training with IMDT and that is a continuous thing. I and also a valid canine first aid certificate. I also have 2 Goldendoodles and ragdoll cat and a rescue cat I raised from 3 weeks old. I volunteer at 2 local rescue shelters also so I’m used to nervous or boisterous dogs I have been homeschooling my 2 boys for 15 years now and that’s coming to an end so I have a very flexible schedule and can’t think of a better way to fill my time. I have my own pets so while they are my priority I can devote several hours a day to care for your precious fur balls. My husband works from home so I can be called on at short notice I won’t be offering to take dogs at my own house because it would scare my cats but I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets first and find out what you need from me and hope it gives you assurance that they will be well looked after and I have valid canine first aid certification

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep bond and understanding of their needs. From a young age, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed caring for and training dogs, attending dog training and agility classes twice a week since I was 11. Today, I’m the proud owner of two wonderful Newfoundlands, Bunny and Bear, who keep me busy with their exciting water rescue training. These experiences have given me invaluable, hands-on knowledge and a true passion for working with dogs of all kinds. But my love for animals doesn’t stop there! Over the years, I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a variety of other pets, including two cats—Indie and my gorgeous ragdoll, Beau—two Guinea pigs (Honey and Bee), two lionhead rabbits (Pumpkin and Jess), and even a Crested gecko named Manny. Each of these amazing animals has taught me so much about their unique care and needs, allowing me to develop a well-rounded understanding of animal care across different species. I currently work shifts 2 days on 4 days off, so on my four days off I can be 100% there for your pets! However, this can be flexible to accommodate for your needs, just let me know! When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, my priority is to ensure your furry (or scaly!) friends feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect, following your instructions closely to maintain their routine and provide a stress-free environment. I prioritise safety by keeping a watchful eye on your pets, ensuring they are secure indoors or outdoors, and keeping hazardous items out of reach. Building trust is essential, and I take time to bond with your pets so they feel happy and at ease in my care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cuddling, or playtime, I strive to keep your pets content and your home just as you left it. My goal is to provide a seamless experience so you can relax, knowing your pets and home are in safe hands.
About: I am a huge dog lover and have been taking care of them professionally for the last few years but have had pups my entire life. I have lots of experience of walking and caring for all different kinds of doggos, big and small, with various needs and personalities. I promise to care for your fur babies as I do my own, with lots of love and play and will give them a home away from home where they can relax and feel comfortable. I’m currently fully available for walks any day of the week. Whether this be for a regular same time walk or a last minute one off. I would treat your pets just like I treat my own, with lots of love and play. I am used to caring for dogs of all ages, I recently lost my Peaches at the age of 12, she had a push chair and needed extra time on her walks. Whilst my Pru at age 3 and Folly at 10 months are both full of energy and zoomies.
“I sent a really last minute request for a dog walk for my 2 sheps for the same day due to being let down. Marie & her partner came at the requested time & were happy to oblige. I have a ring doorbell that I can check and my 2 looked so happy to have been on a walk with them both. Will definitely be using in the future. Thank you so much 🙏🏻”
“Alex was very generous during our first walk and meet-and-greet. He took the time to listen carefully to Fred’s needs and to the type of training we want him to continue with. It’s clear that Alex is confident working with large and power breeds. We will definitely continue booking walks with him, and so far we are very satisfied.”

“I met John and Marion prior to agreeing them looking after my dog Mercy. They made me and Mercy very welcome and I was reassured I was leaving her with lovely ppl. I was away for 12 days and they sent pics of her whilst away. On returning I picked Mercy up and am completely satisfied she has been looked after very well. Thankyou both. I would not hesitate with using their service again”
“Sally is a brilliant dog sitter. My dog is very nervous around new people but after recieving our first photo update, I could see how relaxed and happy she was with Sally. Thank you for taking good care of my pooch ❤️”
“Jack was so wonderful and patient with Cora! She's definitely not the easiest of pups (anxious, high energy) but Jack was very open and kept us in the loop with how she was doing plenty of times. His communication really put us at ease and we felt confident our doggy was in safe hands. He asked all the right questions beforehand to make sure Cora was cared for as closely as she is at home and even treated her to a big walk out in the peaks! Jack has a dog seat belt attachment in his car so Cora was properly transported. She came home clean and happy and we couldn't have hoped for anything better. He listened to any care instructions and advice we gave him and even prepared treats for when she arrived. We'll definitely consider Jack again in future as he's a lovely lad too and very reasonably priced.”
“5 stars-as always! What a great dog sitter Erin is. I feel completely at ease every time we leave our beautiful boy Marley with Erin and Skye! Lots of gorgeous dog walks for him and cuddles at night on the sofa. We are so pleased that we found Erin and would not want to leave our precious bundle of fur with anyone else now. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Erin. Top class service 👍🏻👍🏻☺️☺️❤️❤️”
“Jackal had a lovely stay , our first time leaving him with someone who isn't family and he was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Will definitely be booking for him to stay again!”
“Cannot recommend Megan enough! Megan looked after my girl Lola and did such a great job, she came home so happy and well looked after. She was so proactive and made sure she had all the info she needed to take good care of her, it made us feel confident we had made the right choice. Lola is quite nervous but she settled in well which was such a good sign for us. We got updates throughout her stay which put our minds at ease, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay for Lola.”
“Darcy and her partner are both clearly very experienced with dogs. They're super friendly but, most importantly, they clearly absolutely love having dogs to stay. My lad got on like a house on fire with Teddy, their resident dog, who was gorgeous. They have a secure garden and the ability to separate the dogs in the house of required. I was really impressed and pleased; Darcy was really communicative and sent several updates over only a 1 day stay. I would recommend 10/10!”
“Amy and her partner were absolutely brilliant. They arranged to meet up with me before the boarding so that my dog could meet theirs. Communication was fantastic and my doggy seemed to have a lovely time having a sleepover 😊 Will definitely book again”
“Karolina was absolutely lovely! She cared for Pumpkin so well, I could tell from the updates and videos she was completely settled, with all her cutest and cheekiest personality traits shining through. Karolina was really easy going and made sure Pumpkin had a chance to meet her and sniff her home before the stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Pumpkin with her again.”
“Demi was brilliant sent photos and a video of Kia my fur baby she made herself comfortable on the sofa with Demi husband and made my time leaving with them so easy Kia got sulks on with me when I got her home because she had such a good time playing with Demi dog and cats. Definitely recommend Demi to any dog owners who after leave there pets whilst they are away. Thank you Demi I think Kia would like to come back for another good time.”
About: I have had experience with cats and dogs on and off my whole life. I had a cat (Tinkerbell) when I was younger and more recently my brother and sister in law gained three beautiful dogs ( two cavapoos and a dachshund) a tortoise called Sheldon and 5 chickens. I have helped look after all these for them and I absolutely love it .I would love my own dog but can't at present due to work/family commitments. However I would love to take care of one in my free time. I live alone majority of the time, but co parent my children. The availability I offer is based on work and my child free days. My hobbies are walking, reading and spending time with my partner and friends. Im Very excited and can't wait to meet your beloved doggies ☺️ I work from home on a Thursday and Friday so these and the weekend would be the days I would be mostly available. I have a lunch break and will work downstairs so I can attend to the animals needs and extra cuddles ☺️ I own my home and have no pets currently. I share custody of my three daughters but the availability will be based on when I don't have them. I have a fenced garden and plenty of indoor space for them. I'm not a ornament/trinket kind of gal so they have pretty much free reign downstairs and outside.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since I was 6 and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends and family, from feeding and walks to playtime and keeping them company. It’s actually looking after their pets that gave me the idea to start pet sitting for others. I’m also a pet owner myself and have had my two cats for the past two years. I make sure they have everything they need, including fresh water, stimulating toys and an automatic feeder. My cats can also be kept completely separate from any pets I look after, so every animal can have their own comfortable space and feel happy and settled. I’m naturally caring and attentive and would treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I currently part-time and do university, so quite flexible with my schedule.I am completely free on weekends also. I also live with my partner, who is a huge animal lover and can help with care when needed. We can offer a flexible routine with plenty of attention, play and company for your pet. I’m very happy to look after both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up around both and regularly care for dogs through friends and family, so I’m comfortable with their different needs, routines and personalities. I live in a two-bedroom flat where my two cats have their own separate room, so visiting pets can have the rest of the home to themselves without needing to share space with my cats. I take a lot of care with my own cats, including providing a water fountain, multiple food and water bowls, an automatic feeder, wet food twice a day, interactive toys, dental sticks and plenty of treats. I also have a cat tree, cooling mat and a pet camera so I can keep an eye on them when I’m at work. I even put bird and wildlife programmes on the TV for them as they love watching them! I’m very happy to provide the same level of care and attention to visiting pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and entertained.
“Elvis loved his stay at Armans. We had regular updates and Elvis and Benji got on really well. Arman was really easy to communicate with and we’d be happy to use their service again. Thanks so much”
“We honestly couldn’t recommend Maria enough! From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease leaving our dog in her care. Maria were so caring and attentive and kept us updated throughout, which gave us complete peace of mind. Arthur was so happy when we picked him up and it was clear he had been well looked after and given lots of love and attention. It’s such a relief knowing you have someone you can genuinely trust with your dog and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Maria again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him — we really appreciate it! 🐾❤️”
“Savina was wonderful with my husky, especially during the heat. They showed great knowledge including first aid for dogs and I was kept up to date with photos, I felt so at ease! I would highly recommend Savina and definitely would book again :) thank you x”
“Olivia has been great from start to finish and we have been so pleased with how happy Ronnie has been with her! Great communication throughout and clearly a big dog fan! We have a second booking in a few weeks and I’m sure there will be more to follow :)”
About: Me and my partner are new to Rover, but not new to caring for animals. We’ve both grown up in homes full of pets and have years of hands‑on experience with training, walking and looking after our family dogs. Our homely flat is a calm, safe space, and we’re confident giving pets the same love, structure and attention they’re used to at home. Our routine is flexible enough that we can build pet care into every day. My partner works from home a couple of days a week and so do I, so one of us would be around in the day. We are usually home in the evenings, which makes walks, feeding and play straightforward. On the weekends we like to do walks and have some downtime too, so fitting their needs around our schedule will feel very natural. In our home, pets get a calm and safe environment. We keep doors secured, remove anything that could be hazardous, and make sure pets have a comfortable space to relax. Walks, feeding and play are supervised, and we will stick to the routines that owners share with us - so that your furry friend feels settled and secure. We treat every pet as if they were our own and keep communication open throughout their stay, so that you can be reassured that they are being loved and cared for.
“We would highly recommend Ellen. She took brilliant care of our bulldog. Ellen was really accommodating to his specific needs and quirks (of which there are many). Excellent communication throughout.”
“Ellie was perfect with taking care of my dog! She has some problems with nervousness around strangers and Ellie was so considerate with her! They took her to a private field to let her out and play. I would fully recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
