Safety, trust & environment

Very happy to be guided by the owner on what the pet enjoys, where they like to go, if they are nervous around new people to know how to approach them etc. I like to do meet and greets as much as possible to make sure everyone is happy before going ahead with bookings.

Iona took care of my cat for a week and she was brilliant throughout. Her updates and reports were great, and I felt completely confident in her ability to look after my cat while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and she will be the first person I contact the next time I need a cat sitter

Great sitter, comfortable with arrangements for our cats. Both seemed happy and content in videos and on our return. Would recommend and rebook.

Our dog had lots of lovely adventures with Iona while she was sitting for us. Iona made sure she was well cared for while we were away. I felt reassured that when she was in her care that she would be well looked after and have made another booking with her. Iona was thought with her communication around her sitting services too.

Iona was patient learning our pet's various needs, was very communicative while we were away, and everyone seemed to be in great shape upon our return; not to mention our home was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend and already have her booked for a future need.

Schedule

I am a medical student, I spend most of my placement in GP so we have set sessions so I have a rough idea of lunch breaks and can easily work around it, especially if you live close to me. Also happy for early mornings, evenings and weekends

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
over 45 kg
Iona can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would like to know what they enjoy, what makes them anxious, what they eat, how long they tend to be walked for, their meal times, how they are around other dogs, where roughly you live as it doesn’t tell me beforehand, and if it’s for house sitting how long can they be left for to know if I can go to uni when looking after them
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
