Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Currently at home I'll feed, walk and pet Zoe (my dog). She's getting a bit old so I make sure to keep on top of her meds and keep the door into the garden open for her to roam freely if she needs the toilet or just a sniff and explore around the garden. If at other homes, I'll practice the same level of care and attention needed as well as plenty of walks whilst typing up my dissertation with any mini breaks I can find during their naps. I'm very outdoorsy so walking the dog(s) close to home or driving to be further a field in the hills or the beach to explore is all on the table :) Will find plenty of time for them as I can mostly work around other commitments at the moment.

Stuart was fabulous. From our first contact with him he responded quickly and made us feel very at ease about leaving our pets with him. We came home to very contented animals and a spotless home. Thanks Stuart!!

House Sitting • Jan 02, 2026

Stuart was absolutely fantastic with Ozzy. He offered to come and meet him the week before the sit, so Ozzy could get to know him first, which was really helpful, as Ozzy is really anxious and unsure of new people. This made him a lot more relaxed and comfortable when Stuart came to look after him as they had already met. He took Ozzy on a long walk, and also bought poo bags - as I forgot to leave some out for him 🤦🏼‍♀️ Would definitely use Stuart again to sit Ozzy and would highly recommend him!

Schedule

I'm currently managing a few health issues whilst finishing my university dissertation remotely and otherwise currently very much available to look after your pet! Week days and weekends are equally free for short or extended periods in my current circumstances so please reach out if you're after a sitter or just after someone to pop in to feed, let-out or walk your dog(s)/cat(s)!!

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
Stuart can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know of your pets specific needs ahead of time i.e. meds, bed times or their specific traits that I may need to be aware of. I'm keen for most kind of pets to look after. But will be more cautious if you have a bigger dog that needs caring for but very open-minded and happy to discuss on a case-by-case basis :)
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.
