Caring Experienced Pet Sitter Who Loves Animals

I've adored animals for most of my life and looking after other people's pets is a desired job of mine! I've gained experience with looking after animals, more specifically with both cats and dogs. I attended BCA College and my course involved agriculture and animal management. We were taught how to take care of and behaviours of certain animals, including dogs. Dog walking we did every time, and we would be paired and take turns holding the leash and taking responsibility of the dog while we walked in a loop around the campus. I've helped my friend take care of their dogs. Their dogs are called Sony and Simba! I've helped them feed their dogs and learnt an enrichment game like hiding treats in their living room and Sony and Simba would be let in and they'd both have to find the treats. I've walked their dogs with them too and left alone with one of my friend's dogs briefly while they walked the other one. I'm actively researching about animal behaviours and general research of being a pet sitter as I want to make sure I can provide the best service and care for you and your pet(s) ! I can house sit whilst taking care of your pet(s), I can do dog walking or even cat walking if you're cat enjoys walking. I can feed, water and provide enrichment and entertainment for your pet(s)! I can do pop-in visits as well!

Safety, trust & environment

We've two housecats and we've had them for nearly 8 years now. We have a tortoise too! Either my mum or I take turns feeding them both wet and dry food and they're let outside the garden. They're called Tink and Charlie by the way! They're fed in the early hours of the morning and early evening and their litter trays are cleaned in the morning too. They have cat toys they play with and spend a lot of time sleeping either upstairs or downstairs. Charlie spends a lot of time downstairs and Tink spends a lot of time upstairs. They're both provided with a lot of attention and fussed about, and given treats with moderation. Charlie loves being in company, and will seek for someone if he's left alone or he falls asleep. Tink will hide away especially from new people and she stays in my bedroom for majority of the time but we both chill together. Ralphy is our Tortoise. He's kept in cage and given a lot of leafy greens and fruits for his food as well as a bowl of water shaped as a rock. He's given a shallow warm both to keep him clean and warm and he's let outside when it's sunny and explores the grassy area in our garden. I've looked after my friend's dogs by helping them walk both of their dogs, play an enriching game with them by hiding treats and their dogs looking and finding the treats. I've helped feed them and given them attention and affection, and take care of them briefly when my friend walks one of their dogs by comforting and distracting their dog who was left with me.

House Sitting • Jan 13, 2026

Nicola did a house sit for me and looked after my cat and two Guinea Pigs whilst I was away for 6 days. I could not have asked for anything more from her, she was excellent. She came over a little while before my trip to meet my pets and see the house; knowing my pets and I had met her already made me feel very at ease and comfortable when I left for my holiday. She arrived shortly after I left on the first day of her sit, and communication with me was excellent - letting me know she’d arrived and keeping me updated throughout her stay. I came home to very happy animals and my house was kept nice and tidy. I will definitely be contacting Nicola again when I require another sit or any pop in visits! Thank you so much!

Nicola was really good with my needy little sausages and was also a perfect house guest!

Let me know anything beforehand, for an example, if your pet(s) has special needs or is on medication which they are required to take. If it helps relieve anxiety of leaving your home and pet(s) to a stranger, we can meet initially before visiting your home, and discuss about your pet(s) needs.
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.
