Celia looked after Finn at my place for the day. They got along really well and he was clearly very happy with her! Celia’s comms were quick and clear, she arrived on time and took care of the place. Great sitter and will definitely book again.

This is the second time Daria has looked after Toby as as always she did a fantastic job. We returned to a happy, relaxed cat and a tidy flat - thank you! 😊 she kept us updated with photos and videos of Toby which was much appreciated. We enjoyed our time away fully knowing he was well looked after. 🥰

Tracey was great. My first booking with Rover and Tracey was calm and professional with our two rather over excited dogs. I would definately ask Tracey to after the dogs in the future.

We couldn’t have asked for better service from Iina and our dog is a big fan. She checked she fully understood all requirements/preferences in advance which meant that the dog sitting went very smoothly on the day. She is very easy to communicate with and we will certainly be asking her to look after Strudel again!

Clodagh looked after my young fox red lab Albert for a few days while I was away with work. She was fantastic - getting to know his routine, and being very communicative with lots of photos and pupdates! Albert loved Clodagh!

Rachel was a fab dog sitter and I felt at ease leaving my beloved dog Whisper in her care. She was very communicative and flexible and she was happy to meet beforehand to discuss Whisper’s needs and how to look after her. Would definitely recommend her to others.

Gemma and Calum were absolute stars. We’ve came back to an incredibly happy and relaxed dog, who has clearly been kept very busy and stimulated. Clear she’s been on her holidays too! Whole process was a dream compared to others, and can’t thank them enough. 100% recommend!

Alex was a fantastic dog sitter, gave us lots of updates on the dog and plants! She spotted when my dog had hurt his paw and took appropriate action to help him get better. 10/10 would book again.

Thalia was wonderful! Not only did she communicate flawlessly and was available at rather short notice, she and her partner also helped me out with some transport issues. But most importantly, Agon absolutely loved her. When I returned home he didn’t even get up to greet me because he was so happy cuddling on the sofa. ? I would definitely contact her again and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Ciara is great with Nova! She takes Nova for big walks at the beach and Nova always looks suitably tired and content when I return home. All in all Ciara is great with dogs and very trustworthy ?

Rory's family live locally to us and we relied heavily on Rory's willingness and availability to look after our two lively labradors and, on occassions, 8 labrador puppies during the holidays and his gap year. We would highly recommend Rory for any pet care as he is reliable, enthusiastic and most of all kind and trustworthy.

Holly was absolutely spectacular! She met with us in advance to meet Bilbo and she did everything without a hitch and even got to know Bilbos quirks pretty quickly. She was a true pleasure to have dog sitting.

Bonnie stayed in our home to look after our greyhound and cat while we were overseas. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets and house with Bonnie as she is kind, loving and responsible. She seems to really enjoy being around animals and it is obvious that they love her, too. Bonnie kept us updated with photos and videos, which gave us much peace of mind during our trip. We appreciated that she kept to the animals' usual schedule and gave the cat as much attention as the dog. At the end of her stay, the animals and our home were as we left them. We would definitely book Bonnie again to look after our pets, but I fear once people find out how amazing she is, she might not be able to fit us into her busy schedule. (Also, her photos are amazing. She really captures the animals' personalities. I might make one of them into a t-shirt. 😄)

Freya was phenomenal with my Labrador lily and left the house in an immaculate state. Even when out on a walk lily was in an altercation with another dog she handled the situation well and always kept us updated with how lily was following this.
