“Bronte had a wonderful time with Laura and came home a happy and tired dog! Laura was great at keeping us updated with photos and videos. I’d definitely recommend Laura and we’ll hope to book again when we next need a sitter for Bronte. Thanks Laura!”

“I can honestly say Louise is the loveliest person. She looked after my little pug Winnie with so much love and care. I felt so reassured that she was being looked after properly. I got regular photos and updates of Winnie which was lovely. I can’t thank her enough. I hope Winnie can stay with her again.”

“After reading raymond and Jo's profile and reviews we decided to have a trial night for our 2 rescue dogs. Jack Russell x 18yrs and an ex racing greyhound called ambrose 7yrs who is extremely timid and becomes very anxious around people. When we arrived for a meet and greet ambrose wouldn't enter their home but when we got him inside he behaved like he knew them both for yrs.he followed Raymond around the house and stood next to him for a pet. I knew right then 5hat they were the right people.so they went for a night trial and when we collected them ambrose was stood at the side of Raymond at the front door. We were given photo and message updates and I felt able to relax on our break . We are very grateful to them both and are more then happy to booking future sitting with them . Ambrose and patch loved it”

“Leanne looked after our dog Blanca over the weekend and I couldn't have felt happier with the care that she recieved. I was given multiple updates throughout the stay, with videos and photos as well! Blanca loved playing with Leanne's dog Nala too! Whenever I'll need Blanca looking after in the future I'll definitely be using Leanne again!”

“Thank you for looking after Bowser for a week. I really appreciated the updates and the gorgeous photos. He looked so happy and content. He has had the best holiday with you and Daisy. To know he was safe and relaxed with you, made my holiday even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Katie to look after anyones precious dogs. Everything is just perfect. Thank you again. See you soon x”

“Kelly was amazing with Sophie! She made sure Sophie was happy and comfortable the whole time. I could tell Sophie was well-loved and in great hands and really treated Sophie like her own. Highly recommend Kelly — we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“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.”

“Melanie’s partner Lewis looked after my dog for the week and he was attentive, professional and very communicative. I got a good amount of updates with photos that really reassured me and I wouldn’t wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.”

“Jaye and Johnny put us at ease with our elderly miniature schnauzer Salt from the moment we met them. Warm, kind and attentive with a clear love for canine family members we were confident Salt was going to fit right in and they would take care of our old guy who had a few are related health issues. They sent several photos of their time caring for him over the 3 nights he stayed with them and Jaye gave us assurances he was doing just great. They bonded so quickly with him and great they live so conveniently close by to us too so that was a bonus. Would whole heartedly recommend Jaye and Johnny to others looking for a canine home away from home ! Thanks again”

“BIG THANK YOU to Adam yet again for taking care of Bentley for a whole week. I never thought I would be able to leave him with anyone, but have left him several times over the last 2 yrs & feel I can genuinely trust Adam to take good care of Bentley. Love getting the updates while away & seeing Bentley so chilled in Adam'd home. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks Adam”

He was very contented on his return and Ewan gave regular updates and pics which were reassuring. We will definitely be sending Dexter to visit again. Thank you Ewan!”

“Ronnie seemed to have a great time with Jack We had lots of photos of a happy dog out and about and Jack came across as a really caring and decent chap Will definitely be using Jack again”


“This was the first time we used Jessica, and we were not disappointed. From the messages before the visit to the care and photo updates while we were away, everything was excellent. Boris, being a bulldog, has specific food requirements and a set routine, which Jessica and her family adapted to perfectly. We felt completely reassured knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Boris does not like the car and we always have trouble on collection but Jessica’s husband helped get Boris in the car with care, he is now snuggled up having had his favourite dinner , doing his favourite hobby of snoozing 💤”

“Claire is honestly such an amazing sitter, she took Ferdie at such last minute 😊 she always takes such great care of him and even takes photos and keeps you updated. I always feel comfortable and happy leaving him here and Ferdie loves it!”

“Kelsie was great. She even took the time to meet up for a little walk before hand to see how my dog was with her lovely border collie. There is a wonderful field just seconds from the house for walks. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Kay took great care of Freddie (a Frenchie) when he was booked in for daycare. He was taken for a walks and felt relaxed enough to have a snooze in the sun when he was there too! Kay went the extra mile to get to know Freddie and I received updates on how he was doing, which was appreciated. She was also very understanding when the car I was travelling in broke down, causing me to be later than planned. I’d recommend Kay and hope to book in again soon.”


“Kate made us feel so comfortable and happy leaving Colin with her for the day (on his first birthday!). She was really flexible and responsive and you can tell she really loves animals and cares for them like they’re her own. I would recommend her to anyone :)”

“Alicia was great with our 8 month husky/labrador cross, Haribo. She was very professional and provided a pick-up and drop-off service as well. Alicia provided him a whole day of adventures with her dog, trained him with recall and walking to heel, and sitting patiently in cafes. He absolutely had a lovely time with Alicia and his new doggy friend! We got lots of lovely videos and pictures 🥰 highly recommended and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“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!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Communication was spot on from start to finish- I got regular updates and loads of adorable photos that really put my mind at ease. Louie was clearly having the best time, especially when he got to go to the pub (his favourite kind of outing!). It’s so lovely to know he was treated like one of the family. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again, I can tell why Melanie has had so many repeat bookings!! :)”


About: I am a huge animal lover, have had dogs my whole life and currently have a 3 year old female Cockapoo who loves play dates. I also helped to care for my 2 elderly family dogs who had arthritis and hip dysplasia and needed daily medication. Having been through separation anxiety with my own dog, I know how important it is to get the best care for them, with someone you can trust. I guarantee to care for your dog as though they are my own and give them all the love and attention they need. I also know how expensive dog care can be so I aim to keep my rates low to help people with access to affordable and reliable care. I work from home so can be with your dog 24/7. I can walk them with my dog before and after work and they will have access to the garden all day. I have a completely enclosed garden and my dog Leni will keep your fur baby company. She loves to play but can also be very calm when needed and usually gets along with all dogs.
“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!”

“My pup Beni really enjoyed his day. This was his first day without immediate family around. Sitter, Frances, advised he was a good boy. Enjoyed playing in their home and was comfortable with her. Will continue to use as Beni likes her. Hoping to have a sleep over soon. Thanks again.”

“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 taken care of a lurcher & grey hound sitting overnight at friend's house in Whitby I also have taken care of our son's dog I used to house sit my friends three dogs and cat for a few days at a time over three consecutive years I work from home as a Homeopath . So I can work around this very easily I live in Norton and would walk to the owners home to care for their pets My garden is not completely secure . So would prefer not to have them here . Plus we have a cat that's not keen on sharing

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’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. My mum bred chocolate Labradors for several years, so our home was always full of dogs, puppies, walks and plenty of muddy paws! Up until a few years ago, I also had spaniels of my own, and I really miss having that four-legged presence around the house — which is a big part of why I decided to join Rover. 🐾 I’ve continued to spend lots of time around dogs since, regularly walking and helping care for dogs belonging to friends and family. That’s included my dad’s Red Fox Labrador as well as a friend’s Mastiff and Staffy, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds and energy levels. I genuinely love being outdoors and walking, so whether your dog loves long energetic adventures, sniff-filled strolls or a slower wander, I’m very happy to match their pace, personality and usual routine. 🏠 I work from home, so dogs staying with me will have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I can give them regular attention, playtime and toilet breaks, with walks fitted around the routine they’re used to. I also previously worked within the animal health industry, so while I’m not a veterinary professional, I’ve spent time around animals and have a good understanding of the importance of behaviour, routine and creating an environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog as I would my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with somebody else, so I’m happy to follow all their usual routines and quirks — and you can expect plenty of photos and updates along the way. My aim is for your dog to feel like they’ve had a little home-from-home holiday of their own. 🐶🏠 A few things about me: 🏠 Work from home so can provide 1-1 attention to your dog(s). 🐾 Lifelong dog lover (Chocolate Labs raised me, Spaniels stole my heart later. 🌳 I love long countryside walks and being outdoors, and have access to a vehicle. 📸 Expect lots of photo/video updates during walks or visits. ❤️ Happy with cuddles, playtime, enrichment games or a relaxed companion for older dogs. I work from home and have a flexible routine, so pet care fits really naturally into my day. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the day, as well as pet sitting, and can usually adapt around your dog’s existing schedule. I already love getting out for walks, so having a four-legged companion makes them even better! Dogs staying with me will also have plenty of company, attention and regular breaks throughout the day. 🐾 I know every dog has their own personality, routine and little quirks, so I’ll always take the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy and settled. Dogs staying with me will have plenty of company while I work from home, with regular attention, toilet breaks and walks tailored to their usual routine. 🏠🐾 I have a fully enclosed private garden with 6ft fencing, giving dogs a secure outdoor space for fresh air, play and toilet breaks. I also have a quiet, comfortable space downstairs where they can relax and make themselves at home. For overnight stays, dogs will need to be comfortable and familiar with a crate, as this is where they’ll sleep and stay if I occasionally need to pop out. Outside of that, they’ll be free to relax with me and enjoy the house and garden as part of their stay. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking and care routine as closely as possible, and I’ll treat both their home and their pet with the same care and respect I’d expect myself. Safety is really important to me, so I won’t let dogs off-lead or take unnecessary risks around other dogs without an owner’s agreement. And you can expect plenty of photos and updates along the way, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and in safe hands.
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.
