Highlights
Pet care experience
I love animals more than anything😮
I’ve had cats my whole life and I currently have 3!! I’ve also pet sat for both cats and dogs since I was 11 for my local neighbours and family friends. When I was a child I used to walk my neighbours dogs for free because I just enjoyed spending time with animals. I’ve now been using Rover for over 2 years and I love it so much. Looking after animals is just the best job ever and so much less stressful than swimming teaching which is my other part time job. I feel so happy and fulfilled being able to do something I love so much as my job. My boyfriend also uses rover so sometimes we help each other out or join each other on the other ones pet sitting stay as we enjoy being able to spend time together with animals there as well! Sometimes when I go to visit him and he has drop in visits I go along to, because I just wanna go and pet the animals too.

Safety, trust & environment
Because I’ve grown up with animals I’m very comfortable with creating boundaries with them and an aggressive animals does not scare me as one of my cats has always been very spicy and grumpy. I’m also used to reading my cats body languages very carefully as they can often just suddenly turn when they decide they have had enough of the petting. All 3 of my cats at home are rescues so I’ve learnt to adapt to their needs. They all have unique and individual personalities that require different things.
Ratings and reviews
Frances was absolutely incredible and I am so grateful we came across the perfect fit for our two cats. We received daily photos where we could see our boys were immediately comfortable. Frances was respectful of our home and communication was easy and responsive. Definitely going to use Frances again in the future!
Was really calm with Callie when I came home. This is super important to me. She understands her situation and was building trust with her.
Frances was just wonderful, taking the time to meet Lindy a couple of days early and updated us with photos on the day she sat for Lindy for most of the day. Lindy loved her, she couldn’t have been kinder, more reliable or more helpful and we're looking forward to asking her for help again. Highest possible recommendation!
Frances was great, sent lots of photo updates, and my cat was lovely and chilled when I came back so he clearly had a good time!
Frankie was really great with our two cats while we were away, they both loved her (even Frodo who is a bit shy with new people). She sent lots of lovely photos and was unphased by a couple of hairball incidents. Would definitely recommend 😊
Frankie was perfect. Took the time to go over everything with me ahead of time and was extra flexible when plans changed slightly. I was kept updated all the time and really appreciated it. Major Tom was extremely grateful for all the extra attention and playtime and I came back to a very happy and healthy cat. Already re-booking for my next holiday.

Schedule
I’m currently studying international relations at the uni of Liverpool. It's a low contact hours course so I have lots of free time. I am in a shared student house with 4 other people. We are a house of animal lovers and my house mates are very eager for me to have dogs come and board with me, so they can get some cuddles in themselves. Since moving away from my home in London, I desperately miss my cats, so looking after other animals helps to make me feel much better. Animals have always brought lots of joy to my life and I don't know what I would do if I wasn't able to spend time with them. I like getting out a lot so I enjoy travelling to other peoples homes. I like having lots of structure in my day to day life and looking after animals definitely helps to provide that. I live in university halls which are often very loud and the kitchen is sometimes left very dirty by other people, so I really love house sitting as its like mini holiday away from everyone, where I can get some peace and quiet! I am also a swim teacher however my shifts are never longer than 3 hours so it's very easy to fit my pet care around it.
