“Was a little Nervous at first as we have only left Lola our Spaniel with friends once but seeing Laura and her Family made us feel relaxed. It's a lovely part of the countryside which I'm sure Lola absolutely loved as we live in a busy Town. Was sent lots pictures of her enjoying her stay. Would Definitely love to return with Lola in the Future. Many Thanks.”

“Charlie stayed with Sally and her family again at the weekend... lots of lovely photos and updates as usual, so happy that they love Charlie as much as we do... thank you again... Will keep in touch and book again Charlie, Rachel and Keith”

“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.”

“Leanne was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond for Penny and me and was super patient with us both as we figured out if Penny could co-exist with Nala. They ended up getting along great, which I think is mostly thanks to Leanne’s expertise and experience with nervous dogs and fosters. Leanne provided detailed daily updates along with lots of photos and videos which was so appreciated. I would (and do!) Leanne to anyone and everyone!”

“Really happy to leave Coco with Raymond as we know she’s looked after extremely well. This was her second visit and again, we returned to a find her happy and healthy. Thank you :-)”

“Wholeheartedly recommend Karrie to look after your dog. She went the extra mile making sure our dog felt safe and secure throughout his stay. She catered to all his needs in every way. Needless to say we picked up a very happy boy. Will definitely be using Karrie in the future.”

“Our 9-month-old whippet/staffy mix had a great time with Kelly! Her three other dogs kept him entertained, and Kelly sent us daily updates and cute photos from the dog park. He came home happy, healthy and tired! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone else who is looking for a really capable sitter.”

“Chrissy has been amazing looking after our doggo for 6 nights. She kept us updated daily with photos and we returned to a relaxed and very at home pup when we went to pick her up. Would use again and can highly recommend.”

“My two dogs have clearly been loved and very well looked after whilst with Emma. They were a little sad to come home! Highly recommended and will always be my first port of call when looking for a safe place for my dogs. Thank you so much Emma x”

“Wally had an amazing time with Lindsey and her partner. He adored their dog too. He got plenty of walks and attention and has come home happy and content! Would definitely recommend! Thank you 🙏”

“Jordan was fantastic, I only booked the evening before and she was so accommodating and easygoing, especially as it was short notice. Doris has a wonderful time, I received regular updates which was great. I’d happily send Doris back anytime. 🩷”

“What a lovely “home away from home” Leah offers any dog that she looks after. Treater my Doris like she was one of her own. Constant updates whilst I was away too, real peace of mind ☺️ thank you”

“Lesley and Phil were lovely. Meeting up before having Jacko and meeting all of his elderly doggie needs. He is already missing snoozing in front of a real fire. Thanks both. 😊”

“Camilla looked after our 2 cats for a couple of days over Christmas. They were very happy when we got home. We appreciated the daily updates from Camilla while we were away. ”


“When we met Louise we knew she would be a great fit for looking after our cat. Super friendly, warm and passionate about animals. We felt at ease knowing she would be giving lots of affection and playtime to our little one when we were away and we weren’t disappointed. We’ve booked her in for a house sit in the summer too! Many thanks 🙏”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and have looked after cats for family, friends and clients over the years. I’m used to different personalities, from really affectionate cats to shy ones that prefer their own space. I’m happy with feeding, litter trays, playtime, keeping routines consistent and giving them company while their owners are away. I know how important it is for cats to feel comfortable in their own home, so I always try to keep things calm and stress-free for them 🩶

“Tammy is an absolute godsend. Booked my 2 cats in for a week last minute and tammy was brilliant. Sent regular updates and photos. One of my cats was clearly nervous but soon came out of her shell. Thank you so much. Will definitely use again.”

About: I have been a petsiitter, walker, companion for many years. I love all fur babies, recently looked after chickens too. I have a car, can work in York and surrounding areas. Will consider further afield but a minimum of one continous week. Always recommend a meetup before a booking for a cuppa and maybe a biscuit 😉 Recently retired. As i am an animal lover and experienced pet sitter for cats, dogs, chickens i can't think of a better way to spend my time. I cannot look after pets in my own home sadly. I can only offer pet sitting, Vet visits, Pop-ins for all fur babies, chickens, feeding, comforting, walking. Sadly I cannot look after reactive dogs because of past experience.

“Helaina did two 30 minute visits to look after my Ruby. Ruby seemed to really warm to Helaina and seemed as though she had a good time. Ruby is an anxious puppy and Helaina really helped her come out of her shell a bit 😊 would definitely use Helaina again!”

“What a woman?! From the off, Claires correspondance and communication was brilliant! We had a weird circumstance that we couldn't meet beforehand to introduce her, as we were travelling from outside the area, for just a short amount of time. This didn't put her off though, and despite me never having used Rover before, she seemed the perfect fit for my slightly nervous wee boy! On rocking up, she made him feel welcome immediately. She gave the fuss pot a wee chew, then took him down to her fully enclosed courtyard garden and let himself sniff about whilst tossing a squeak ball for him. She sent me photos throughout the day. (Though our signal was poor, we had them through all at once which was lovely!) On pick up he was happy to see us, but also not in any rush to leave! Thank you Claire for looking after my boy with such care. If we are ever in the area again and needed help, I would not hesitate to reach out!”

“Duke my german shepherd had a fantastic time with Tammy and thank you so much for taking care of my boy. He was so worn out and loved i wouldn't hesitate to rebook Tammy when I visit Birmingham again”

“Karrie had our girl for the day whilst we took the kids to Flamingo Land and was great with her. Karrie's dog is lovely and so mellow, ours soon settled with her and had a lovely day.”

“Leah and her partner seem very nice and we felt comfortable leaving our fur babies with them. When we picked them up the dogs seemed happy and relaxed. So all good and it’s a 5/5 from us.”

“I cannot recommend Jaye and her husband enough. They’re genuinely so lovely, and so fantastic (and competent!) with dogs, and my two had a fanastic time. Thank you so much for looking after Louis and Juno!”

“Julie was absolutely wonderful looking after Harley. I was sent pictures throughout the day and couldn’t have chosen anyone better :) I felt very comfortable leaving Harley with her at her beautiful home. Would definitely recommend.”

“Trudie and Flynn absolutely adore christianne, trudie didn’t want to come home. They are both worn out and very happy doggos. Was a last minute booking and that was not an issue, so grateful definitely will be booking again!”

“We were over the moon with Cariana and the way she looked after Ziggy for the day! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and I just knew Ziggy was being very well looked after. She was a very happy pup and we really appreciated the care Cariana provided. Would highly recommend! Thank you Cariana!”

“We were so pleased to have found Wayne on Rover, especially as we needed to make last-minute arrangements due to a change in plans. From the moment they met, Ronnie took to Wayne straight away, which immediately put our minds at ease. Wayne kept us updated throughout Ronnie's stay, and it was clear he was being well looked after. When we picked Ronnie up, he was relaxed, happy, and completely himself, which is always the best sign that he's been comfortable and cared for. Thank you, Wayne, for looking after Ronnie so well. We wouldn't hesitate to use your services again and will definitely be back if we need help in the future.”

About: I have my own professional dog training business and have worked professionally with dogs for around a year. I have my own dog, who I have had from a pup. I have worked with service dogs in training at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. I have worked with multiple other dog walkers and trainers. I am fully insured privately and have an enhanced DBS check. I have experience with a lot of different dogs, including old dog, puppies, reactive dogs, aggressive dogs, and nervous dogs. I have recently finished university and gone full time self-employed as a dog trainer. I am very flexible to work around your schedule as needed. I have my own pup and a large enclosed back garden. I don't currently offer overnight stays, but do offer day-trains, meaning you dog would stay with me for the day.
“Molly had a fantastic stay with Vanessa and her lovely family. She was looked after perfectly and clearly given loads of affection and cuddles, perfect, thank you for looking after her”

“Hendrix came back happy and healthy.. puppies are super energetic and I felt bad Hendrix just wanted to play all the time he was there and didn’t rest (as he slept in the car on the way) Very appreciated Octavia-Louise, thanks for looking after him!”

“Eva took care of my dog Wanda for an afternoon. Everything went great and Wanda had a great time with Eva. I would definitely leave my Wanda with her again, she spent a great afternoon with lots of treats and cuddles.”


About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. Growing up, my family had a female Pomeranian who was with us for over 10 years, followed by a female Husky. Caring for them gave me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. Now I live with my partner and our spayed female Cockapoo, Loopy. Looking after her has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs, routine and personality. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs, including a large Old English Sheepdog, whom I bathed and cared for, as well as several Cockapoos. One of my friend’s Cockapoos even stayed overnight in our home for a week, so I’m experienced in helping dogs settle into a new environment and feel comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks, visiting parks and going on countryside walks together. I always pay close attention to their behaviour, comfort and wellbeing, and I’ll care for your dog with the same love and attention that I give my own. As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life, as I share my home with my partner and our lovely Cockapoo, Loopy. As a Cockapoo owner myself, I understand the energy, affection and attention this breed needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to each dog’s own routine and personality. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always come first. I have a friendly, spayed female Cockapoo who enjoys the company of other dogs. I introduce dogs gradually and never leave them together unsupervised until I’m confident they’re comfortable with each other. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed) and any special instructions. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and make sure they feel relaxed and secure. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away.

“We were very grateful to Eleanor for looking after our puppy for a couple of hours last minute. She was very flexible with our changing arrangements and our dog loved going on a long walk and relaxing with her! We loved seeing the pictures of her day and would definitely use Eleanor again!”

About: We've recently lost our two family dogs which is heart breaking. My cousin has recently got a puppy and I've been helping her with that. I had a puppy as a child. I've dog sat in other people's homes and taken them out for walks. I'm a carer for humans too! If your dog comes to my home they will sleep in my room. Cats will be separated. My partner is available for when I'm not so there is always someone to keep an eye on them. I have two private care jobs otherwise I am fully available for pet care 🐶 😺 I can cover mornings, lunch, tea and evening's, also overnight ! I love country walks. My partner helps with the business dog so if your dog needs more attention he is also available. We provide numerous walks which is included in the price In your home I will abide by your rules I have two cats at my home and we have now adopted a client's dog - border collie. Extremely friendly with everyone and everything. All three can be kept separate if needed. This can be discussed
About: I have lots of experience caring for pets as my degree has allowed me to work in both kennels and catteries, getting to know different animals and how to care for them. I have always had pets in the house and have a great love for all animals. My degree is quite full on, however midweek and weekends I would be able fit you and your pet in. Being around animals is very important to me and I often drop anything for the opportunity to cuddle a cute pup I am not able to have pets in my home at the moment but would be more than happy looking after your pet in your home, or taking your dogs for walks. I would be more confident walking dogs on leads as I would be worried if they do not have strong recall skills, however I would always ensure they have enough excercise.
About: I have grown up fostering dogs and since moving out of my parents I have rehomed a cocker spaniel that was in bad shape. I have brought her to the amazing, well mannered, highly trained girl she is now. She gets on with all dogs, though can be nervous. I believe that pets are part of the family and think they deserve to at least use our furniture, we are their whole world after all. I have extensive experience in training puppies and dogs alike and also pick up on any signs, body language and behavioural issues and can address these promptly to ensure a happy time for your pets. My mum is a dog groomer too so I have grown up knowing the ins and outs of many different breeds and temperaments in dogs. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly, being self employed allows me to take control of my own schedule. I love going for walks and hikes so what’s better than being able to also take pooches for long walks and adventures, as well as nice chilled time on the sofa. I have a large fenced garden and a cocker spaniel girl of my own to keep your furbaby company. We can crate our dog or your dog if needed. My mum is a dog groomer so I have picked up dog first aid from her, as well as tips and tricks to bathing tricky dogs too! I am in a large house so theres room for indoor play and cosy relaxation alike.
“Helaina has been great with my two Shih tzus, very good communication skills from the get go and very good with my two girls, come back from work to two very excited and tired young pups after their walk Helaina is a very reliable and very recommended”

“Nathan was absolutely amazing and Meg loved boarding with him. Nathan was very flexible with times and catered well to Meg's care needs. I'd definitely recommend his services! I was regularly updated and sent photos of how Meg was doing too. Nathan has a lovely personality and is really professional. We shall see you in the near future x”

“We could not be happier with the care Mabel received from Kevin & Caroline! After a great initial meet and greet, we booked her in for a 4-night stay. Mabel loved her time with her new doggy friends - Benji & Dusty. It was immediately obvious how much Kevin & Caroline love and care for animals—Mabel was treated just like one of the family from the moment she arrived. Receiving regular photo updates gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Mabel came home happy, settled, and well-cared for. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future if we need a place for Mabel to stay. Highly recommend!”

“I could write pages on how Cameron and Emily treat our dog with such love and as if he is their own, but I think Chapo’s feelings are much more important. It’s our second time booking with them, and Chapo had been quite moody before we dropped him off, but as soon as we got to their house he was suddenly very happy, very excited, very waggy tail, thrilled to be back. I think that says everything that needs to be said about their brilliant care. He loves playing with Hugo, and Cameron and Emily are amazing with him. Couldn’t recommend them enough.”
