“Yves and Nick are absolute pros! Yves' genuine love of dogs was apparent from the moment she met Tiggy. She was so sweet with her and spoiled her in the best way. Fantastic communication throughout and truly exceptional care. Tiggy has come home so relaxed and happy--like she's had a real vacation! ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️”

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”
About: I was very lucky to grow up in a family that supported my love of animals, and I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was six years old. Over the years, I’ve lived with dogs of different sizes and personalities. The dog who was with me the longest was an Alaskan Malamute, so I’m very comfortable and confident around large dogs. I’m a cat person too! I’ve had an Exotic Shorthair and an American Curl, both with very different personalities. My cats and dog currently live with my family in my hometown, so there are no resident pets in my home here. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so dog walking is genuinely something I enjoy. I’d be more than happy to take your dog out to enjoy the grass, sunshine, fresh air — and, if they’re that kind of dog, probably a bit of mud too! I’m currently a student and study full-time from home, which means my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to give your pets proper attention. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can usually accommodate morning, afternoon or evening visits, including weekends. I’m happy to work around your cat’s usual feeding and care routine rather than changing their schedule. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine and your instructions closely. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, keep food and water fresh, clean litter trays, and leave everything tidy. I’ll give your cat as much attention or space as they prefer, and send you photo updates so you know they’re happy and safe while you’re away.
“Sara looked after my 6-month-old puppy Tiny for two weeks and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning she was friendly, reassuring, and clearly very experienced with dogs, which immediately put me at ease. While Tiny was with her, Sara kept in constant contact and sent twice-daily updates with lovely photos. It was so nice to see how well Tiny was settling in and enjoying herself, and it really helped me relax while I was away. When I picked Tiny up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You could tell she had been given lots of attention, love, and exercise. It’s never easy leaving a young puppy, but Sara made the whole experience completely stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sara again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. She truly went above and beyond.”
“Danielle looked after our dog whilst she was recovering from surgery. Her place is ideal if your dog requires something quieter, she listened to our dogs requirements and communicated well.”
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 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! 🐾❤️”
“Nichola was exceptional! She was incredibly accommodating when I was abroad and had to arrange dropping Ruby off through my boyfriend. I got lots of updates and Nichola even took her to the pet store to pick out a chew. Ruby didn’t want to leave in the end!”
“Claire and Liam looked after our dog Bella for 4 nights while we were away and she came back a very happy and tired dog! Their own two dogs are lovely and welcomed Bella nicely into the home. Claire and Liam clearly care a lot about dogs and it shows in all the adventures they took Bella on, the pictures the kept us updated with were exceptionally cute. Would definitely recommend 😀”

“Alex did a fantastic job of looking after Isabelle (my cat) this week. He was caring and patient with her and sent lots of photos of her. Alex is a lovely lad, very understanding of Isabelle's needs, friendly, trustworthy and was great with Isabelle.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Willow received while we were away. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Willow was clearly very happy and well looked after, and it was lovely to receive updates while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that she received lots of love, attention and care. Thank you so much Michelle for looking after Willow so well. We would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable cat sitter. We will certainly be using you again! 🐾❤️”
“Rhian was excellent looking after my two cats. One of them is very shy and Rhian was very respectful of this when checking on her. The other cat loved the attention she got. She was attentive and made sure they were well looked after on my trip.”
“Amelia went above and beyond to make sure our cats were looked after and cared for. The house was kept clean and odour free, and the cats were both happy and healthy. We received regular, informative updates.It was evident that the cats had been played with and fussed over. Would definitely use again.”
“Maream has been a real life saver for me. I had to unexpectedly extend my trip due to a cancelled flight, and Maream made herself available on super short notice. She and my previous cat sitter took initiative to walk through the care monty needs and to organise a handover of my keys. She gave me detailed reports every day, and went above and beyond to make my Monty comfortable. She made sure to clean up any messes immediately and gave monty a lot of cuddle and play time. Maream also decided to put some "cat TV" videos on which I know monty loves! Due to the fact I was still stuck abroad, we were unable to have a meet and greet beforehand. Despite that, Maream immediately put me at ease with her upbeat nature and great communication. Will definitely book in again!”
“Yu Xuan was a wonderful sitter for my cat, Gizmo! I'd give her more than 5 stars if I could. She helped us right at the last minute which was really helpful. Her communication was great, lots of updates and pictures which was reassuring. We have a persian cat and she cleaned his eyes really well. We came home to a tidy house and a very happy cat. Thanks again we would love you to look after gizzy in future xx”

“Joy is incredibly reliable and flexible and I would not hesitate to recommend her. She has made a genuine effort to make friends with our cat who is always happy and settled when we return from holiday.”
“Izzy did a great job looking after our cat Floyd, doing drop in visits, while we were away for a long weekend. She followed the feeding instructions we had left, played games to keep entertained while we were gone and provided us loads of updates. Great sitter and would recommend! Thanks Izzy 😸”
“So pleased we booked with Sena! She was so friendly and patient and we loved the videos of the cuddles she was getting with our (usually very shy) cat. Thank you Sena, see you next time we go away!”
“Very friendly, very professional, answered all questions/ messages quickly and clearly. Kept our cat happy and safe , played with him and sent regular updates, even collected a parcel from our mail room for us , couldn’t fault.”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud owner of my own cat, Penelope, so I understand just how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve been around and caring for cats from a young age and have experience with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable and genuinely enjoy spending time with cats. I’m happy to feed them, provide fresh water, clean litter trays, play with them and give them plenty of love and attention.

About: I started by walking my own dog when I was 10, now I'm not in a position to have my own I love to meet and play with dogs and cats belonging to my family and friends. I'm friendly, caring and considerate, and quickly bond with animals. I have even become the second favourite person in the world to my sister's dog who doesn't give trust easily. I get a full on singing and dancing welcome every toner i visit! I have also built trust with an ex stray cat of my girlfriend, who has given meet kicks and likes to come for some fuss now and then. I work part time, between 8-10:30am and 2:30-4:30pm (or thereabouts) on weekdays, so i have plenty of time during the day to walk and care for your furry family.

I will make sure that your pet has water and anything else it reasonably needs for their health and safety before I leave.

“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! 🐾🐾”
“Teasel had a lovely time and Ellen was really helpful, asked lots of questions, met up with us beforehand, sent photos and made Teasel feel really at home - she didn’t even seem bothered when I was leaving her, which is unusual!”
“My dog has had one afternoon with Amy so far. Amy was lovely with my rescue dog, who can get very scared. There was a little tension when the three dogs first met but Amy understood the situation and sensibly separated them briefly, then gently introduced them to each other, and then quickly managed to settle them all down for a harmonious and contented afternoon together. My dog is now booked in for a two night stay and I have full confidence in Amy’s ability to look after her sensitively and safely.”

I can take your dog on regular walks, spend time playing with them, and make sure they feel loved and relaxed while you are away.
About: I may be new to professional dog sitting, but caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve had my own dog since I was little, so I understand how much love, attention, and care they need. I’ve also looked after a family friend’s dog and regularly check in on other people’s dogs, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have also had a part time job at a dog walking company for a family friend where i have built my skills with understanding a dogs needs. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. i am currently a student, but i am only in three days a week where the most is 3 hours so i am available all the time. so i can bring your dog the best care they need. When looking after a pet in their own home, I’d make sure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. I’d stick to their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and lots of attention. I’d also make sure they have everything they need, keep their space clean and give them plenty of company so they don’t feel lonely while their owner is away.
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.
About: I’m experienced with walking everything from tiny Pugs to energetic Labradors, and I tailor every walk to each dog’s breed, age, health, and the weather. Some dogs love long, lively adventures, while others prefer a gentle plod around the block — I’m happy to match their pace. I have many years of experience caring for flat‑nosed breeds and understand their specific needs, especially around breathing and temperature. I also have hands‑on experience boarding a Labrador while she was in heat, so I’m confident managing dogs with additional care requirements. I’m currently available throughout the week, and I offer boarding both midweek and at weekends. Whether you need quick toilet‑break visits or long, enriching walks, I can fit into your dog’s routine and provide exactly what they need. I have a dog‑free, child‑free home, which means a calm and predictable environment for your dog. Although I don’t have a garden, I take dogs out multiple times a day for toilet breaks in addition to their walks, so they get plenty of chances to stretch their legs and feel comfortable. In your home, I’ll follow the exact routine you set — you know what works best for your dog, and I’m here to keep things consistent and stress‑free.
About: Ever since I was a baby I’ve always been around animals, whether it be cats, puppies, or difficult dogs, I’ve always loved animals. Lenny, my parents dog, I trained to be responsive to my instructions and have a wide array of tricks. I would love to give all the love I have for my own dog to someone else’s whilst I’m here at university! I am currently a full-time teacher, so I am available to look after/walk your animals on Friday, Saturday or Sunday at any time, as well as in the evenings throughout the week. I live in a secure first-floor flat with access to a private balcony. I don’t have a garden, however, I live extremely close to local parks and have access to them 24/7, so your pet will still have plenty of opportunities for outdoor time and exercise. The flat is secure, and there is no way your pet would be able to escape.
“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.”
“Lydia is such a great person, she’s very friendly and great with dogs. We didn’t have the chance to meet in person before my dog stayed with her, but immediately when my dog met her, it felt really comfortable and safe with her, and I could trust that my dog is in really safe hands. I would highly recommend Lydia, she sent loads of photos and regular updates, and she was very accommodating & understanding of all the needs my dog had. Thank you Lydia, Minnie and I look forward to the next time.”
“Callum is great! He took Narla for us at very short notice and accommodated my working hours. Narla seemed very happy in his care and was free to explore his house and garden at her leisure! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I am a caring, responsible and trustworthy animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets.

About: Me and my family, since I was very little, we were taking care of rescue dogs and cats (I’m coming from Greece in which there are many stray animals) until they would find a family. I have a lot of experience with any kind of breed, age and health conditions as many of them needed medication to get healthy again. Except this experience of mine, I have one dog back home and I miss him. This motivates me a lot to take care of other pets and give them the love I would give to mine🩵 I’m a MA graduate with part time work in weekends so during the week I have plenty of time to meet and take care of your furry loved ones. I can maintain a safe and calm environment in owner’s space for their pet. Unfortunately the place I live doesn’t not allow pets, so I can only do visits and take care of a pet in their familiar environment.
“George took excellent care of Dixie during her day with him. He sent many pictures to reassure us she was happy and settled. This was Dixie’s first day away from us so we were a little nervous but there was absolutely no need to be. We were held up leaving Tramlines due to the traffic and ended up being 45 mins late to pick Dixie up. George was very patient and kind, waiting up for us to pick her up. Thank you George, Lemmy and family for your wonderful care of our dog!”
About: I grew up animal obsessed and currently have an elderly greyhound called Stanley! I'm happy looking after animals of different shapes, sizes and personalities as I’ve had experience of dogs from springer spaniels and chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs and XL bully’s. Whilst I was at university, I worked at the RSPCA cruelty centre in Liverpool. I have experience caring for animals who may need more time warming up to people/nervous. There I met a whole range different dogs with the aim of socialisation and enrichment for those with a bad start in life. My boy is now 14 and I’d love to spent time with more dogs, taking them out and giving them love. I work very flexibly from home, normally until 3pm with an hour lunch break so doing a few check in’s/walks a day would be easy to accommodate. I work from home, normally working between 7am and 3pm, I can do walks/visits in lunch breaks at 12pm and after my work hours. Similarly, I can work from your house if you need care all day. As most of my experience has been with nervous dogs, I am a big believer in building rapport and listening to body language. Trust is super important regardless of whether I am out on a walk or keeping your pet company within your house. I love enrichment activities and if there is training you’d like me to support with then I’d be more than happy to help. I am happy to offer an initial meet and greet before a booking is confirmed :)

“Thanks so much for all your help! We had to book Alex last minute and his speedy responses made the whole process so easy and filled us with confidence Penny had someone to check in on her. Alex shared plenty of photos of their walk and penny looks like she had such a lovely time! The excitement in all the pictures - I can tell she thoroughly enjoyed herself and had a good run around! Thank you again :)”
“Highly recommend Aspasia! I sprained my ankle and needed someone to urgently walk my very active spaniel. Aspasia was incredibly flexible and took Spencer for a huge walk, she is kind, considerate and bonded with Spencer straight away - even though he can be wary of new people. Thank you! You rock!”
“Amelia came to a first walk with me and Pedro. She has a good energy and Pedro responded well to her wanting to play and being engaged. I will for sure book Amelia in the future.”
“Our dogs loved Laura! Right from the moment she came to do a meet and greet at our house. Her communication is brilliant, and both dogs looked like they had the best time on their walk. We will definitely be using Laura again. Thank you for walking them and giving us peace of mind while we were on holiday!”
About: Your pets will be spoiled rotten with me! I've cared for dogs and cats for years, including many rescues with special needs I'm very observant and detail oriented, if I notice anything unusual like a limp or change in appetite, you'll hear from me straight away. Expect plenty of photo updates while you're away because I can't help myself! Prefer daytime drop-offs for boarding it helps dogs settle in more easily and reduces first night anxiety. I was working part-time and recently took a break, so I have a pretty flexible schedule with plenty of time for pet care. Most weekdays I'm free, and I can also cover weekends when needed. I'm usually home and love spending quality time with the pets I'm sitting, I live in a flat with access to a safe shared garden. I love taking dogs out for walks in the park and longer hikes when the weather's nice. Your pet will be well looked after and comfortable with me.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and now that I’ve had to leave my 4 legged friends at home to come to uni I’m wanting to fill the k9 sized hole in my life and have a great time with your pets! I live a 5 minute walk away from both the Botanical Gardens and Endcliffe park so walks definitely won’t get boring. I’ll be available to spend all day with your doggos as my university semester has come to an end and I am at home full time. I’ll be in Sheffield all of the time so checking in with your pets will be no hassle at all. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Thank you for taking a look x

I also send regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

I can follow their usual routine for feeding, playtime, and rest, and I’m available on both weekdays and weekends with advance notice. Your cat’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is clean, quiet, and suitable for cats to relax and feel secure. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, litter box cleaning, medication if required, and any special preferences. I always make sure doors and windows are secure and never leave pets unattended for long periods. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I usually only board one household’s cat(s) at a time, so they can enjoy a calm and stress-free environment.

Over the years, I’ve lived with dogs of different sizes and personalities. The dog who was with me the longest was an Alaskan Malamute, so I’m very comfortable and confident around large dogs. I’m a cat person too! I’ve had an Exotic Shorthair and an American Curl, both with very different personalities.

I always make sure doors and windows are secure, keep food and water fresh, clean litter trays, and leave everything tidy. I’ll give your cat as much attention or space as they prefer, and send you photo updates so you know they’re happy and safe while you’re away.
About: Both me and my partner Kyle love animals of all shapes and sizes, and have had dogs and cats for most of our lives (but do not currently just as we do go away at weekends occasionally!). We both work from home flexibly full time so can give your dog as much attention as they need, and are also available for last minute bookings! Both me and my partner are remote workers on a flexible schedule, so are able to give your pet the time and attention they need. We can also be available for fairly last minute bookings due to this. We have a small fenced garden safe for time outside, and will check for any other tweaks we need to make to our home to ensure your pet is comfortable, or for anything I need to be aware of if visiting your pet in your home.
“Thank you for taking care of Beetle and being so flexible/helpful! Yung Hon has made my transition into school 100% less stressful by taking such good care of my pup.”
About: I love pets! I have been around them since I was born, as my parents got a dog before having children. I’m sensitive snd have a sense of kinship with pets, being the youngest child and all!!😁 I would be happy to help you with your pet caring needs. I can: - Go on a nice walk with your doggo, so you can have a relaxed and exercised pet (who will not destroy your favorite shoes!) when you get home. - Board them in my home during the day - Caring visits and spending time with them in your home during the day - Stay with them in your home while you’re away Each pet has different needs and preferences, so I’ll be very happy to discuss their needs, and yours. Please feel welcomed to send any inquiries on how I can help you with your pet caring needs! I’m a postgraduate student in a flexible, writing-up phase. I’m available from 8 am to 10 pm for dog walks, can fit around your schedule, and am available short-notice. I’m respectful and a good listener, so will be aware to and uphold any guidance and boundaries you communicate. I aim to leave things as I found them in any home that I am in. I have a home with a garden which I can host your pet in. I ask that you supply their usual supplies (food, accessories, toys, bedding), so they can be comfortable away from home. As I have 2 cats in my home, who are still getting used to dogs, I will not be able to provide overnight boarding. However, I am happy to look after your pet in your home overnight.
About: I may be new to professional dog sitting, but caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve had my own dog since I was little, so I understand how much love, attention, and care they need. I’ve also looked after a family friend’s dog and regularly check in on other people’s dogs, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have also had a part time job at a dog walking company for a family friend where i have built my skills with understanding a dogs needs. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. i am currently a student, but i am only in three days a week where the most is 3 hours so i am available all the time. so i can bring your dog the best care they need. When looking after a pet in their own home, I’d make sure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. I’d stick to their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and lots of attention. I’d also make sure they have everything they need, keep their space clean and give them plenty of company so they don’t feel lonely while their owner is away.
About: I have a border terrier of my own and while being at university i’d love to take care of other dogs. Dogs have always been a passion of mine, I have had my dog since she was a baby and miss her during university so helping out with other people’s dogs will be an amazing opportunity! I am a trustworthy individual and would love to help out where I can. I am currently a student at Sheffield Hallam University studying marketing. My schedule consists of me being in university Monday and Friday and enjoying weekends with my friends! I am available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from mid-morning until late afternoon leaving my evenings for chores and my friends. I will cater to your needs depending on your dog- I can crate your dog or leave them out. Before meeting your dog I will ensure I know what your dog needs!
“I highly recommend David as a dog walker! He is kind, caring and considerate. He took the time to come for a meet and greet to find out what Norma's needs are and how we want her cared for. David has been excellent with his communication, really quick to reply and really detailed. He left great detailed feedback on his walk and some lovely pictures. Thank you David :)”
“Emma and Sam both did the meet up so nice to have met both of them, even though Emma walked Eddie. She replied to my request and questions really quickly as it was a last minute arrangement and was really flexible. She's clearly very natural with dogs and Eddie took to her straight away. Would definitely recommend”
About: Ever since I was a small child, I have been completely obsessed with animals, particularly dogs!! This passion has led me to become very experienced with dogs of many different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I have volunteered at a retired greyhound kennel and worked over the summer at a dog training and boarding facility, where I have gained lots of hands-on experience caring for and handling dogs. This has included following individual feeding instructions, exercising dogs appropriately (whether that be a walk or time in the field), bathing them as well as providing enrichment! Whilst working in these kennel settings I have handled both human and dog reactive dogs, so I am confident in keeping reactive dogs both safe and happy. I also have a Romanian rescue dog of my own. She is very wary of strangers, so I understand first-hand how difficult it can be to find someone you can trust with your nervous pup. I know that some dogs need a little extra patience, reassurance and time to build trust, and I am more than happy to give them that. I’m also very experienced with small animals, having owned several hamsters and gerbils, as well as having experience caring for cats. I am a first year Zoology student at the University of Sheffield, and I would love to spend my time at university doing something I genuinely love - looking after animals! 🐾 I am a university student, so I have lots of weekend availability!! My weekly schedule can vary, so please get in touch in advance if you would like a walk or drop-in visit so I can make sure I’m available at that time😊 I take the safety of all the animals under my care very seriously. Through my work at the kennels I have completed training in both keeping the dogs physically safe as well as recognising signs that a dog may be unwell e.g upset stomach, changes in behaviour. I am happy to keep dogs on the lead/long line as well as letting them off if they have a reliable recall and it is safe to do so. I will always follow your instructions and keep you updated!!

“Karolina looked after Jarvis for 8 nights. Unfortunately Jarvis caught a vomiting bug a day or so before we left him with her but she handled this very well, took him to the vet when he struggled to get better and kept us informed. She obviously loves dogs and we are very, very happy with the care Jarvis received and all the photos we received. I recommend Karolina unreservedly and can only hope she is available next time we need a sitter.”
“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.”
“Dottie had a fantastic time with Amy. She was really well looked after, had a lovely time with the other dogs and came back to us very relaxed. We already have more bookings in with Amy, and would not hesitate to recommend her 100%.”
“Denzel has loved staying with Wenyue. This was the 1st time he has stayed with her. She kept me updated with daily photos and videos while i was away with work. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be booking Denzel in for another stay with her in the very near”
“Megan has looked after Lola a couple times now and she always comes home a happy girl. Megan keeps us up to date regularly and replies quickly, she sends picture updates to reassure us if we have any questions or just want to check in on how Lola is. Highly recommend using Megan is you’re in the Sheffield area, she is fantastic!”
“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!”
“5 star care again for our beloved boy Marley. He’s had lots of cuddles and lovely walks with Erin. Thank you for looking after him again for us. We wouldn’t trust anyone else now with Marley’s care. 100% recommend. Thank you 🙏 🐶❤️❤️”
“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”
About: I was very lucky to grow up in a family that supported my love of animals, and I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was six years old. Over the years, I’ve lived with dogs of different sizes and personalities. The dog who was with me the longest was an Alaskan Malamute, so I’m very comfortable and confident around large dogs. I’m a cat person too! I’ve had an Exotic Shorthair and an American Curl, both with very different personalities. My cats and dog currently live with my family in my hometown, so there are no resident pets in my home here. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so dog walking is genuinely something I enjoy. I’d be more than happy to take your dog out to enjoy the grass, sunshine, fresh air — and, if they’re that kind of dog, probably a bit of mud too! I’m currently a student and study full-time from home, which means my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to give your pets proper attention. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can usually accommodate morning, afternoon or evening visits, including weekends. I’m happy to work around your cat’s usual feeding and care routine rather than changing their schedule. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine and your instructions closely. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, keep food and water fresh, clean litter trays, and leave everything tidy. I’ll give your cat as much attention or space as they prefer, and send you photo updates so you know they’re happy and safe while you’re away.
“Highly recommended!! Lesley took great care of our dog Nacho! She sent us lots of video/picture updates while we were away which we loved. We would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you for everything!”
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 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! 🐾❤️”
“2nd time Soraya has looked after bongo and he has had a blast for the last 10 days!! So lucky to have found someone so warm and loving for bongo whilst I’m away. I’ve already booked his next stay :)”
“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”
“We left Zoro with Jun over the weekend and can see that he really enjoyed himself! It took no time at all for him to get comfortable and become his cheeky old self. Would definitely recommend :)”
“This was my first using Rover and subsequently George and Rebecca. I was a little anxious as we we have only had our rescue Doberman 6 months and this isn’t our usual boarder. We also have a GSD who is used to boarding so no worries with her. We met with George and Lemmy initially and the dogs all got on fantastic, we left the dogs with them for 10 days and we got updates daily, pictures of their amazing walks and routines. I found that very reassuring and they looked like they were just in their own home. Our Dobe is raw fed and this was no trouble. Will definitely leave Lando and Luna with George and Rebecca, no hesitation. Very much appreciated, thank you Sarah, Andy, Luna and Lando”
“Claire and Liam looked after our dog Bella for 4 nights while we were away and she came back a very happy and tired dog! Their own two dogs are lovely and welcomed Bella nicely into the home. Claire and Liam clearly care a lot about dogs and it shows in all the adventures they took Bella on, the pictures the kept us updated with were exceptionally cute. Would definitely recommend 😀”
