“Absolutely fantastic from the get go! We popped in to introduce our dog to Georgia and Greg and he instantly looked at home. We were delighted with the daily updates and we feel as though our dog, Milo, settled in very quickly and was looked after like he was their own. This is the first time we have left Milo with new people and the first time we have used Rover. We will definitely be leaving Milo with Georgia and Greg in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, including rescue dogs, and have always loved their different personalities and characters. I offer boarding, daycare, dog walking and drop-in visits. We have a calm, family home with a secure fenced garden, and dogs are welcome to free-roam and make themselves at home. I work from home, so they’ll have plenty of company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. We enjoy long country walks and love having dogs join us on our adventures. We also have a playful miniature dachshund who loves having friends to play with! My 6-year-old son is a big dog lover and understands the importance of giving dogs space and respecting their boundaries. Your dog will be treated like one of the family, with lots of love, care and attention. 🐶❤️ I work from home, and my partner is also home during the day, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention. We enjoy regular walks, from shorter walks around the block and trips to the local field, to longer countryside adventures exploring woodlands, fields and parks. Our longer walks are usually an hour or more. We’re a very active family and love getting outdoors, so dogs staying with us will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, play and exploring, as well as plenty of time to relax at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are really important to us. We have a secure, fenced garden and a calm, family home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. Our miniature dachshund is friendly and loves having other dogs around, so your dog will have a companion during their stay. We always respect each dog’s individual personality, space and boundaries. We want every dog to feel comfortable, cared for and part of the family while they’re with us. 🐶❤️
“Richard and his family are lovely. They obviously care very much about dogs and making them as happy as possible while away from home. They have a lovely house and I was really happy about leaving my dog there. Would definitely book again, thank you!”
“This was the second time Michelle and her husband Graham have looked after our 2-year-old whippet, Walter and they were absolutely fantastic again. Walter has a few whippet quirks, but they handled him perfectly and made him feel right at home. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we collected him, it was obvious that he had been well cared for. We highly recommend them and will definitely ask them to look after Walter for us again.”
“I would book Claire, Chris and their lovely family to look after Rudy again in a heartbeat! It gave me so much confidence that they already had a golden retriever. They were absolutely fabulous and would highly recommend! Thank you 🤎”
“We’re delighted with Aimee’s care for our 2 dogs. They’ve been looked after with love and clearly have been as comfy with Aimee as they are at home. Would absolutely recommend and book again, thanks so much!”
“Anna was amazing. She kept us informed of how Peanuts stay was going with Pictures and messages. We could see our dog was having a wonderful time. We would strongly recommend Anna, and will definitely use her again.”
“Dan was wonderful. He made me feel so at ease about leaving them for the first time. I was sent lots of pictures of them having fun. He’s really knowledgeable about dogs and they definitely had a home from home experience. Will definitely be booking again”
“Extremely kinda and respectful sitter, reassured me to no end with my dogs stay. This was his first time away from home and he was in excellent hands. Cannot recommend Charlie enough!”
“Martin and his partner looked after Paolo really well and gave regular updates. I was happy to find someone who loves dogs. He’d read all the information I’d written about Paolo and Paolo settled very quickly. I feel confident that Paolo is well cared for and safe. Paolo is already booked in for his next stay. Thank you”
“We are so pleased to have found Helen and Andy on our doorstep. Our dog Vinnie had grown quite fearful of his kennels and we were determined to find him somewhere he could be more at-home and comfortable when we were away. From meet and greets to taster stays, Helen has made every effort to settle Vinnie in and move at his pace. Her knowledge and experience with dogs really shows and Vinnie was happy and content in their company and home which has been lovely to see.”
“A massive thank you to you & your family for taking Bella in and looking after her. It was lovely to have someone who sent the daily updates of what Bella got up to whilst we were away & we can tell she had a lovely stay. Thank you again”
“First time using rover, couldn't of picked anyone better to look after chester than Danielle. Brilliant from start to finish. Kept me informed on how chester was while with Danielle. So no need to worry at all. Chester was in safe hands. Defiantly would recommend Danielle to anyone and will be using Danielle again. Emma and chester x”
“Steve was absolutely wonderful with Molly and I will definitely be booking him again! You can see he adores dogs and loves the outdoors so Molly got plenty of excercise and was well looked after. We visited Steve's house before the booking - he got on superbly with Molly and also has a clean and comfortable house with ample space for your dog/s. Steve is very responsive to any questions you may have and during Molly's stay he sent photos and videos (and she looked very happy)! I would 100% recommend Steve for looking after your beloved pet/s - rest assured they will be in very good hands. Thank you, Steve!”

“From the first visit, our Cat loved Nova. We knew he would be in good hands, and Nova kept us updated with pictures and stories of each visit. Nova was kind, proffessional, and we would highly recommend.”
“Caitlin was absolutely brilliant looking after my elderly, grumpy cat Susie! 🐱 She was patient and caring with her, even though Susie definitely isn’t the easiest cat to win over. It was really reassuring knowing Susie was being looked after by someone so attentive. Caitlin kept me updated throughout and I could tell Susie was in safe, caring hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Caitlin and would definitely have her look after Susie again. Thank you so much! ❤️”

“Lizzie has looked after our 2 cats a few times for us now, and she's great! She provides lots of updates and photos (which helps an anxious cat owner like me) and lets us know if there are any issues. And our 2 girls also get along great with her and seem like they're having fun a great time playing together! Will definitely book Lizzie again - thanks!! 😊”
“Honestly couldn’t recommend Kim enough!! She’s been absolutely amazing with Bonnie and has genuinely gone above and beyond for us 🥹❤️She’s been great with all her regular check ins and I’ve felt so comfortable knowing Bonnie is being looked after by her. She’s honestly so lovely with her and you can tell she genuinely cares. She’s also gone last minute when I’ve needed help, which I’m honestly so grateful for because she really didn’t have to! She’s always been so lovely, helpful and accommodating and nothing has ever felt like too much trouble. I’m so glad I found her and would 100% recommend her to anyone. Bonnie absolutely loves her too which is the main thing 🐾❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Trista. I live in Wakefield and I’m a caring and reliable cat mum with over three and a half years of experience looking after my own two cats. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident when they’re away, so I always approach cats with patience, gentleness, and respect. I’m calm, observant, and happy to follow your cat’s usual routine to help them feel safe and relaxed at home.
“Nadine is an excelent cat sitter. My cat is a very shy very skittish cat and warmed up to Nadine immediately. That speaks of her character a lot. I was kept up to date with pictures and videos so I had no worries during our holiday. Thank you Nadine, you’ve been wonderful. ”
About: I've always loved cats, but due family members allergies I've never had one. I will always give any neighbours cat a stroke if they want one, however I've always respected a cat's space, same as I would any dog, animal and person. This year in January I stayed at a friend's house to look after their pets whilst they were on honeymoon. Their pets needed medication, and their cat was a house cat, as has severe thyroid problems, so is vulnerable. He needed his medicine several times a day, at set specific times, so I set alarms on my mobile to ensure he got what he needed. And before I let the dog into the garden, I checked every time where the cat was, to ensure he didn't sneak out, he had to be kept safe.
“Absolutely brilliant and caring as always, my cats’ favourite cat sitter ever❤️ even if we had a few blips because of my own mistake, she was kind and kept her word to treat my fur babies as if nothing had happened, for which I can’t thank her enough and yet another reason for which I fully fully recommend her❤️”
“Taking care of someone else's cats can be tough, especially when there are 7 of them. Lauren managed it effortlessly, and we felt confident our boys were in great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone!”
“We arranged for Carol to look after our 12 year old cat whilst we was out of the country. We felt that our cat would be more comfortable at home so we arranged for Carol to pop in twice a day for general care and to give Bingo some TLC. We had a couple of meetings beforehand and I was was instantly blown away by Carols professionalism, empathy and rapport with Bingo. While we were away Carol provided frequent detailed updates about Bingo with plenty of pictures and information. She went above and beyond and even bought him a toy! She had an instant connection with Bingo, which is surprising as he can be very aloof and standoffish with humans. We were completely at ease whilst on holiday knowing that our pet was being looked after by such a fantastic sitter. We would not hesitate to use Carol again and would highly recommend her to anyone who is after a sitter.”
About: I have lived on a small holding my whole life, caring for various animals including domestic, farm, and exotic pets. I have been part of the Riding for Disabled and 4 the Love of Cats (charity), as well as having experience in training Police dogs and horses. I have two of my own cats and I care for my parents seven cats at their house when they go away on holiday.
About: I’ve been a "cat person" for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there was always a cat in the house, and they taught me pretty much everything I know about patience and earning a pet's trust. Right now, I have a cat of my own who I love with all my heart—she’s basically the princess of the house! I’m the kind of person who can’t walk past a cat without saying "pspsps", and I regularly donate to pet charities because I just want every animal to have a good life. There is honestly no better feeling than when a cat finally decides you're worthy of a cuddle or starts purring the second you walk in the door. I know how stressful it can be to leave your cat alone, so I’m here to make sure they’re not just fed, but actually happy and loved while you’re away. I’m more than happy to spend time playing with them, scooping the litter (of course), and sending you plenty of photos so you know they're doing well.
“I would definitely recommend Kim, she’s been doing drop in visits with Penny this week while I’ve been working extra hours. Penny is always well fed, watered and happy when I get home. I’ll continue to use Kim regularly going forward, I’ve also made myself a new friend.”
About: I’ve been looking after cats for friends over the past few years, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time with cats and getting to know their different personalities. I’m very attentive to their needs, making sure they are fed on time, have clean litter, and feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I also really enjoy the way cats interact with people and respond to energy. I try to stay calm and patient so they feel relaxed and happy around me. Whether a cat is playful and social or more quiet and independent, I respect their space and make sure they feel cared for. Taking care of cats doesn’t feel like a chore to me—it’s something I truly enjoy, and I always make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while their owners are away.
“Liam was brilliant and looked after my cat Gus so well while I was away for a couple of nights. He sent lots of pictures and kept me in the loop with everything they got up to! I would absolutely recommend and will be looking to book with Liam again for my next trip in August.”

About: Experienced, Loving Family Dog Sitters 🐾 Hello! We're a dog-loving family with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Between us, my partner and I have owned and looked after dogs for most of our lives, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. After regularly dog sitting for friends and family, we've decided to open our home to more dogs and their owners. We have two young children, aged 4 and 5, who absolutely adore dogs and have grown up around them. Because of this, the safety and comfort of both our children and any visiting dogs is extremely important to us. We only accept dogs that are comfortable, gentle, and trustworthy around young children, ensuring a safe and happy environment for everyone. One of the biggest benefits we can offer is that both of us work from home full-time. This means your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having people around, we'll tailor our care to suit their individual personality and needs. We have a small front garden available for quick toilet breaks, and we're also just minutes away from large open fields, parks, and beautiful nature walks. Regular walks and exercise will be provided according to your dog's age, energy levels, and routine. We understand that leaving your dog with someone else can feel daunting, so we'll treat them as if they were our own—providing a safe, loving, and caring home while you're away. We look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐶 Lots of love, attention, walks, and cuddles guaranteed. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. Both my partner and I work from home full-time, so we're able to provide constant supervision, regular toilet breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. We regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family, and we enjoy incorporating walks into our daily schedule. We live just minutes from large fields and nature walks, allowing us to provide exercise tailored to each dog's needs. As a family of dog lovers, spending time with and caring for dogs is something we genuinely enjoy, so any dogs staying with us become part of our everyday family life while they're in our care. We care for every dog as if they were our own and always aim to keep them as comfortable and settled as possible by following their usual routine. Before any stay, we'll discuss your dog's feeding schedule, exercise requirements, sleeping arrangements, medications, and any special needs to ensure continuity of care. In our home, dogs will have plenty of companionship throughout the day as both of us work from home full-time. They'll receive regular toilet breaks, walks tailored to their energy levels and needs, playtime, affection, and a safe, family environment. We have a small yard for quick toilet breaks and are just minutes away from large fields and nature walks for longer exercise sessions. We only accept dogs that are comfortable around young children, as we have two children aged 4 and 5 who have grown up around dogs and love interacting with them. If caring for a pet in the owner's home, we would follow all instructions provided, maintaining the dog's normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Throughout any booking, we are happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind, so owners can see that their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I've always had dogs in my life. I lost two elderly dogs last year and so badly miss having dogs . I dog sit for our friends dogs whenever possible, but would like to open our home to more. More cuddles, more walks, more mess and more craziness. If you have a dog who needs close attention and wants to feel secure, I can give that care. If your dog needs long walks, I would love that. Our two dogs became infirm when they were old. If you dog needs extra care as an elderly dog, I have the experience. I hold independent comprehensive dog-care insurance. I work part time from home. No routine as such, so I can fit around what your dog needs. Some days are quiet and other days include a long walk and play. We have a large, fenced, dog friendly garden which is completely secure. Your dog will have plenty of room, inside and out. Plus my bed to sleep on, if that is what they like.
About: I have always had or lived with a dog since living at home with my parents through to having one which my children grew up with and have had three dogs since then up until March 2025. I love the outdoors and miss not having a doggy companion on my walks. I am very flexible with availability as I work from home on a part time basis . I am confident with dogs and happy to follow any ongoing training and routines that may be in place for your dog. I currently work from home on a part time basis with flexible hours Monday -Friday So can work pet care around my work to suit most needs . I have an enclosed fenced back garden for your dogs playing time and toileting needs I have a conservatory which looks onto the garden for your dogs bed / basket and resting time between play time and walks. Your dog would have access to all areas of the house apart from the bedrooms .
“Paolo came back very happy and exhausted. We got lots of updates from Carol so felt happy that Paolo was well cared for. He had a lovely long walk too. Thank you both”
“Kanan is a lovely person. She was very quick at responding re availability and also offered a meet and greet session prior to the sit which I really appreciate. Buddy spent the day with Kanan and she sent me regular updates and pics throughout the day. Buddy settled in quickly with her and I would definitely recommend her and love for her to sit for Buddy. Thanks Kanan!”
“Brilliant sitter. Jake and his girlfriend took great care of my boys and gave me updates throughout the day. It was a last minute booking as my friend cancelled on me, so I was very grateful when Jake came to the rescue. Thank you!”
About: Hi!! I have 40 years experience with animals. I've had cats most of my life, for the last 5 years I’ve had fish, but the love of our lives was Hooch our Dogue De Bordeaux, who we had the pleasure of knowing for only a short 4 years, since then there has been a big hole in our hearts. We can’t bring ourselves to get another dog just yet, so we would love to share yours 🥰 I call into my friends on a weekly basis and check her babies, Stanley and Sidney who are Italian Greyhounds. I work casual hours at a school on an as-needed basis, so my schedule can be quite flexible and I’m often available during the daytime as well as after school. My availability varies depending on when I’m needed at school, but I keep my calendar updated and open so you can easily see when I’m free. During the school holidays I have even greater availability for doggy day care, walks and drop-in visits. Your pet will be treated as one of the family while in my care. We have a large, secure enclosed garden with plenty of space to play and relax, and pets are welcome to make themselves comfortable in our home, including on the furniture! I will always follow your usual feeding, walking and care routine and make sure I understand any individual needs beforehand. I’m very happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before their first visit so you and your pet can get to know me and feel completely comfortable.
“Jennifer was amazing! She took my dog out for a swim, which he absolutely loved, and spent lots of time playing with him. I really appreciated all the pictures and video she sent, they were wonderful to receive and showed how much fun he was having. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided especially since it was so last minute!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and regularly dog sit for my friends and family. My parents have 3 dogs which I love dearly and I also regularly care for their horses, pigs, chickens and tortoise aswell as the dogs. This year I have 8 dogs that I have/due to dog sit for friends/family. Unfortunately due to our work schedules we can not have a dog of our own full time just yet, so the next best thing is to give all the other doggies attention! We are very active and love long scenic walks that we would love to do with the company of a dog! I am available to board all week which would be spent taking the dogs on long walks around the country side which we do most weekends on our own anyway! we live in a house with a secure garden as the back garden. We do not care for pets in owners homes. We will always take care of your pet like it is our own!
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has a lovable 11-year-old Labrador whom I helped train from puppyhood — from basic commands to good leash manners. We also shared 18 wonderful years with a gentle British Shorthair cat, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats at every life stage. Whether it’s energetic playtime, patient training, or quiet cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and care I’ve given my own for decades. Because I work from home, your pet gets my full attention all day. I can easily fit in frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and walks, and I’m always around for company and cuddles. My flexible schedule means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine — whether that’s early morning walks, midday training, or late-night check-ins. Having pets around while I work makes my day better, and I love giving them the same care, patience, and companionship I’ve given my own over the years Whether your pet is staying at my place or I’m visiting yours, they’ll get the same love, attention, and comfort they’re used to. In my home, I make sure there’s plenty of space to play, cozy spots for naps, and a safe, calm environment. I stick to your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure and happy. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things consistent — from their favorite walk routes to the way they like their food prepared. My goal is to make every visit or stay feel like home, so your furry friend stays relaxed, loved, and well-cared for.
About: Hello, my names Kadie. A little about myself, I have worked in the healthcare profession for the past 8 years. I then got a dog of my own (after loving them all my life), and my passion turned into caring for dogs! So here I am now. At my house, I have my dog (Nala - Golden Retriever - 13 months) and my partner Will. Myself and my partner both adore dogs, and Nala loves having a dog friend around! Your dog/dogs are welcome to come to my loving, friendly, warm home day and/or night. I can promise you that your dog will be loved, and cared for in the same way my dog gets! That's if you and they are ok with lots of cuddles, tickles, treats, an afternoon dental stick, fun walks and a good tug of war game. If you have any specific rules/routines I am happy to honour these. We are members of the national trust. We visit Nostel Priory on a regular basis, which we would love to take your dog along too. We have some great walks local to our house too, which I am sure your dog will enjoy. On all stays, I will provide you with a diary at pick up - So you know exactly what your pooch has been upto! I am also able and happy to send you photo's via WhatsApp throughout the stay, so you can be re-assured they are having fun! I am available every day, at any time. My fellow dog owners who work shifts, you are welcome to drop your dog off at my house before your shift begins (even if it starts as early as 7am).

“Our dog has such a lovely time with Amrita and her gorgeous dogs. It’s wonderful to know that she is happy and safe. Their house is gorgeous and they take really good care to make sure all of her needs are met.”
“Tasha has just come back from her first visit to Sarah. I can tell she has been very well looked after and had lots of attention because she is relaxed as if she has never been away. Sarah sent texts and messages which was very reassuring as you never know if your dog is going to settle to a new place. Can recommend Sarah will look after your pet very well.”
“Buse was absolutely fantastic with my little pooch hazel and friend teddy. When I came to pick them up they were so happy and excited, I just instantly knew they had a great day with Buse and Gala, thank you :)”

About: I've always had a genuine love for dogs and believe they deserve to be treated like part of the family. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they love long walks, playing, or simply having company and cuddles. I'll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away, keeping to their usual routine as much as possible. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be worrying, so I'll always provide the same love, care, and attention that I'd want for my own pet. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is in kind, capable hands and having a wonderful time. Alongside working part-time as a hairdresser, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. This means I can provide regular walks, playtime, companionship, and ensure your dog gets the love and care they deserve without ever feeling rushed. At the moment, I'm offering dog walking and drop-in visits. As I have a dog of my own at home, I'm unable to provide boarding or doggy day care right now.
“Frances was very professional right from the meet and greet with cooper and kept us informed every day about his walk sending pictures and pupdates we will definitely be using her again.”
“I couldn’t recommend Jamie enough as a dog walker for your pup! He was luckily available to walk my sausage dog Jj while i was on holiday and everyday i would receive photos and videos of how Jj was getting on. Jamie let Jj become familiar with him before recognising that Jj might benefit from group walks with his other regulars and I couldn’t be happier with how happy Jj looked running around with his new friends. I would 100% recommend using his services 🐶”
“Ivan has been great so far with my Staffy koda he is very nervous outside of the house. Ivan came to meet Koda first in our home which I really think helped with Kodas anxiety before they went walking, he has been on 3 walks so far and already I can see a difference when Ivan came for his walk yesterday Koda was trying to open the door to get to him very excited and when he came home he was checking every car that went past through my window to see if it was Ivan coming back.”

“Would recommend Danielle, she came to meet me and Dottie before the first dog walk. Everything went well on the day and I would definitely be happy to leave Dottie with Danielle again. Thank you.”
“Best dog sitter ever! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lizzie did an amazing job looking after my boisterous husky. It was obvious that she has personal experience with big dogs as she knew exactly how to handle him and adapted to meet his needs. I felt confident booking because of her animal behaviour qualifications. I’ll definitely book again. Thanks Lizzie.”
About: Hello! My name is Ross, and the majority of my background is in dog grooming and cat rescue. I have been grooming dogs for five years now, working with everything from tiny old teacup Yorkies, to 90kg Dogue de Bordeaux’s. I absolutely love being able to get to know both the dog’s we care for, and their owners. Being trusted to take care of people’s pets is a privilege, and one I don’t take lightly. I am an easy going person, and find I connect well with animals. I have grown up surrounded by cats, as my parents worked in animal rescue, and we would foster frequently. As a teenager, I regularly bottle fed kittens who were just days old and without their mother. I also have extensive experience with older and disabled cats and dogs, and understand the unique needs of these animals. At home, we have a cat and a dog of our own. Our dog is a 6 year old lab mix, and our cat is a 10 year old tabby. My fiancé is a GB para athlete in wheelchair rugby, and I build my schedule around her. I am typically available during the week, sometimes at relatively short notice for drop in’s and walks, and I’m available some weekends, particularly over the summer and other holidays. Whether you’re looking for somebody to come check on your cat and give them some fuss, or somebody to come give your bouncy dog a walk to tire them out, or anything in between, I’d be happy to hear from you! My partner is a GB para athlete in wheelchair rugby, so I assist her with that on some weekends and evenings. I also still work some hours doing dog grooming. This leaves me with a very flexible schedule throughout the week, especially when my partner is not training. I am free nearly all weekday mornings, and can fit bookings in throughout the day. Let me know what your requirements are, and I’ll do my absolute best to meet them! Drop Ins: I will ensure that doors and windows that lead to the outside are always closed, unless you have a fenced in back garden, where I will make sure dogs are still monitored when outdoors. For cats, particularly indoor cats, our time will be indoors (or in a purpose built catio if you have one) to ensure there is no chance of them getting out of the property. Dog Walking: Your dog will remain on lead at all times, and your house will be locked behind me. If your dog is reactive, requires a muzzle or has any other needs when out walking, please let me know and I will accomodate this. Treats will also always be on hand!
About: £30 first booking with code KELLYT04221 I have a Labrador who I have trained and loved for 7 years. Dog and cat sit for my whole family. Want to give something back to those that need help. I understand how hard it is to find reliable sitters, day care, walkers or just someone to let them out during the day. I am a registered nurse who works shifts so I have different days off a week so I can be flexible to offer service. I don’t work weekends I have a secure garden with a very well behaved Labrador who has been exposed to many different breeds at daycare herself so I can offer a safe loving environment.
“Kashia came to visit us before walking my dogs to see them and I thought this was lovely and very kind and thoughtful. Me and my husband were out of the country and knowing she was very thorough made us feel at ease. Every walk we had pictures to look at and a description of how they were and we felt like we knew what they had been up to. Thank you”
About: I have been around and cared for animals for as long as I can remember, mostly including cats and dogs but also other pets too. I have been trusted to look after and walk dogs belonging to family and friends, and is something that brings me the most joy. I currently work 9am-5pm Monday to Friday, but will be available for boarding on the weekends and also dog walking services in the evenings after work. Not currently owning any pets of my own at the moment so have plenty of space, time and attention to play with yours. I have a fenced back garden and a car to use to transport your dog safely if needed
About: I had my greyhound, Poppy, for ten years. Losing her recently was genuinely one of the hardest things, and if you know, you know. So yes, part of why I'm here is because I miss having a dog around. But mostly it's because I genuinely love them, I understand them, and I know exactly what it feels like to hand your dog over to someone and hope they actually care. I've looked after dogs of all sizes for family and friends over the years, big breeds and small ones, and I treat every single one the way I treated Poppy. Like they matter. Because they do. What you can expect from me: Regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering A calm, relaxed environment, no chaos Plenty of attention, walks, and fuss Someone who actually gets how much your dog means to you. Greyhounds taught me patience and gentleness. Ten years of that stays with you. Your dog is in safe hands. Available weekends for all types of sitting! I work full time and I’m self employed so sometimes I am available mid week! So feel free to message if availability isn’t showing. Your dog gets treated exactly how I treated mine for ten years. Fed on time, walked properly, never left for too long, and given actual attention rather than just being in the background. I know greyhounds, so I understand that different dogs need different things. Some need calm. Some need stimulation. I read the dog in front of me as well as the checklist. You'll get updates throughout the day so you're never sat wondering. Photos, messages, whatever keeps your mind at ease. Your home or mine, the standard stays the same.
“Liam has walked our dog a couple of times now and takes good care of him. He sends photos of him on walks and Hamish always looks really happy to see him. He even thought to bring a towel with him when it was raining!”
About: I have lived on a small holding my whole life, caring for various animals including domestic, farm, and exotic pets. I have been part of the Riding for Disabled and 4 the Love of Cats (charity), as well as having experience in training Police dogs and horses. I care for my parents three dogs (two Golden Retrievers and a Cocker Spaniel) at their home when they go away on holiday. I am currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your pets at any time of the day or night, other than Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I am happy to travel anywhere within my 10 mile working radius as I have a car, and can even take your pet out on a nature trip so long as they travel well. I am flexible in my care and can abide by any rules and schedules you set as long as you write it down for me.
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has a lovable 11-year-old Labrador whom I helped train from puppyhood — from basic commands to good leash manners. We also shared 18 wonderful years with a gentle British Shorthair cat, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats at every life stage. Whether it’s energetic playtime, patient training, or quiet cuddles, I treat every pet like my own. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and care I’ve given my own for decades. Because I work from home, your pet gets my full attention all day. I can easily fit in frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and walks, and I’m always around for company and cuddles. My flexible schedule means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine — whether that’s early morning walks, midday training, or late-night check-ins. Having pets around while I work makes my day better, and I love giving them the same care, patience, and companionship I’ve given my own over the years Whether your pet is staying at my place or I’m visiting yours, they’ll get the same love, attention, and comfort they’re used to. In my home, I make sure there’s plenty of space to play, cozy spots for naps, and a safe, calm environment. I stick to your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime so they feel secure and happy. When I care for pets in their own home, I keep things consistent — from their favorite walk routes to the way they like their food prepared. My goal is to make every visit or stay feel like home, so your furry friend stays relaxed, loved, and well-cared for.

“I booked Kim to walk my rescue dog Nay, Nay has had a really tough life with lots of nervousness around people and other dogs. I was really impressed that Kim not only suggested a meet & greet but also a trial walk with herself and myself to ensure all went well. I felt really at ease with Kim she knew how to get Nay to respond on our trial walk, Nay was completely focused on her the entire time and the usual chaos walk I’m used to was completely different. I was more than happy to then let Kim and Nay go off together and enjoy there walk. Nay came back exhausted and happy she even tried to follow Kim to the car to go home with her. I’ve never known her to take to someone so well and I now can be at ease knowing Nay is being walked while I’m at work by someone who is so easily to get along with. Very friendly young woman with lots of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. I had to change the time at short notice and Kim made me feel like it was no trouble at all. I would recommend her without a doubt.”

“Absolutely fantastic from the get go! We popped in to introduce our dog to Georgia and Greg and he instantly looked at home. We were delighted with the daily updates and we feel as though our dog, Milo, settled in very quickly and was looked after like he was their own. This is the first time we have left Milo with new people and the first time we have used Rover. We will definitely be leaving Milo with Georgia and Greg in the future!”
“I would book Claire, Chris and their lovely family to look after Rudy again in a heartbeat! It gave me so much confidence that they already had a golden retriever. They were absolutely fabulous and would highly recommend! Thank you 🤎”
“We’re delighted with Aimee’s care for our 2 dogs. They’ve been looked after with love and clearly have been as comfy with Aimee as they are at home. Would absolutely recommend and book again, thanks so much!”
“Dan was wonderful. He made me feel so at ease about leaving them for the first time. I was sent lots of pictures of them having fun. He’s really knowledgeable about dogs and they definitely had a home from home experience. Will definitely be booking again”
“Extremely kinda and respectful sitter, reassured me to no end with my dogs stay. This was his first time away from home and he was in excellent hands. Cannot recommend Charlie enough!”
“Martin and his partner looked after Paolo really well and gave regular updates. I was happy to find someone who loves dogs. He’d read all the information I’d written about Paolo and Paolo settled very quickly. I feel confident that Paolo is well cared for and safe. Paolo is already booked in for his next stay. Thank you”
“We are so pleased to have found Helen and Andy on our doorstep. Our dog Vinnie had grown quite fearful of his kennels and we were determined to find him somewhere he could be more at-home and comfortable when we were away. From meet and greets to taster stays, Helen has made every effort to settle Vinnie in and move at his pace. Her knowledge and experience with dogs really shows and Vinnie was happy and content in their company and home which has been lovely to see.”
“A massive thank you to you & your family for taking Bella in and looking after her. It was lovely to have someone who sent the daily updates of what Bella got up to whilst we were away & we can tell she had a lovely stay. Thank you again”
“First time using rover, couldn't of picked anyone better to look after chester than Danielle. Brilliant from start to finish. Kept me informed on how chester was while with Danielle. So no need to worry at all. Chester was in safe hands. Defiantly would recommend Danielle to anyone and will be using Danielle again. Emma and chester x”
“Steve was absolutely wonderful with Molly and I will definitely be booking him again! You can see he adores dogs and loves the outdoors so Molly got plenty of excercise and was well looked after. We visited Steve's house before the booking - he got on superbly with Molly and also has a clean and comfortable house with ample space for your dog/s. Steve is very responsive to any questions you may have and during Molly's stay he sent photos and videos (and she looked very happy)! I would 100% recommend Steve for looking after your beloved pet/s - rest assured they will be in very good hands. Thank you, Steve!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and regularly dog sit for my friends and family. My parents have 3 dogs which I love dearly and I also regularly care for their horses, pigs, chickens and tortoise aswell as the dogs. This year I have 8 dogs that I have/due to dog sit for friends/family. Unfortunately due to our work schedules we can not have a dog of our own full time just yet, so the next best thing is to give all the other doggies attention! We are very active and love long scenic walks that we would love to do with the company of a dog! I am available to board all week which would be spent taking the dogs on long walks around the country side which we do most weekends on our own anyway! we live in a house with a secure garden as the back garden. We do not care for pets in owners homes. We will always take care of your pet like it is our own!
“Artur looked after my dog called scooby, he was amazing with him. We had 3 x daily updates including pictures of scooby, which was brillant to see and scooby looked happy and relaxed. You can see Artur really cares for the animals he looks after and I will definitely use again in the future. Artur was easy to book through rover, really easy to communicate with and arrange time for drop off and collection. Thank you for taking good care of scooby ❤️”
“Lauren has been absolutely amazing - way over and above what we could have hoped for as first-time users of this platform! She really took the time to understand Faro's personality and play to her strengths, which helped her settle in quickly and build her confidence, in addition to being very well looked after. As a sensitive and occasionally reactive Border Collie, she was best buddies with Lauren from day 1, which really says a lot. We also got very helpful updates and photos regularly, and that was so great for our peace of mind while travelling abroad. I saw Lauren interact with our Faro and one other dog at the same time - each with their own quirks - and it was very clear she was using different personalised strategies with each of them. That shows her expertise and professionalism, but also genuine care and love for the dogs she looks after. I would not hesitate to recommend Lauren as a very experienced, genuinely caring, funny and playful pet sitter.”
