House Sitting in Barking

“Was my first time in using Rover app and Antoinette made it easy when I reached out initially. During the 3 nights overnight stay I was given updates with photos and videos along the way. My dog can be nervous at times but was calm around Antoinette. Will be using Antoinette again would recommend to others.”

About: I’ve been booked a few times now through Rover to look after both dogs and cats. I have a calm personality which I believe creates a calming atmosphere and the pets seem happy and relaxed around me and I bond well with the pets I have been looking after. I work from the office Tue-Wed but can take care of your pet around that. On my spare time I like to go for walks in the park, read, and take photograph. I’m studying at the moment so I do spend a lot of time at home. I live in a flat but happy to go for walks around the area regularly. There’s a smaller dog park close to my flat and also a large park not too far away to go for a longer walks.

About: I have taken care of and had animals in my home since I was a young child. I have had the pleasure of meeting and caring for family, friends and acquaintances' pets throughout my life; being around animals will always be my comfort zone. I am currently freelancing from home so I can be very flexible with the dates and times of bookings! Plenty of time to look after the pets. The house has a large living room and ground floor, including a large fenced grass garden for dogs to play or relax. I also give dogs the option of fresh air and play at daycare bookings if the owner permits.

“This week Josh and Mosco had their first few days together. Mosco seems to have had a great time and was his usual chill, happy self when we got back. Josh was great, kept in touch in the run up and during the sit. Took care of the flat really well and hopefully enjoyed his time with Mosco. We will definitely be asking Josh for his time again.”

About: Will care for and love your dog like my own. Have grown up with dogs and cats in the family. Whilst I prepare for a dog of my own, I enjoy walking, training and playing with friends dogs and would love to get to know your dog. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so happy to have a regular canine companion on those days. I may be available on some Tuesdays but couldn’t commit to every Tuesday. I can be available on weekends, day or evening. I live in a flat on the 5th floor with a balcony. Your dog would only be allowed on the balcony under full supervision. Your dog is welcome on my sofa. There is a large park less than a 10 minute walk away. I don’t have any pets so your dog will have my full attention.

“Amazing experience with Marwa. Felt comfortable from the first time meeting her and knew she’d take care of my cat and home. She sent regular updates and left the place in perfect condition and Hugo was very well taken care of. Would give more than 5* if possible.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vella was an excellent choice! She stayed at my home for 4 days and 3 nights and took great care of my French Bulldog with a lot of attention and love. She was punctual, clean, respectful, and extremely affectionate with my dog. I received daily updates and photos, which made me feel very at ease while I was away. When I returned, everything was in perfect order and my dog was happy and relaxed. I’m very satisfied with her and will definitely book her again. I highly recommend her! 💙🐶”

“Maeve was available last minute to sit our rescue dog Charlie and was absolutely fantastic! Charlie is very shy but warmed to her quickly - he even ate all his dinner which is rare with new people! She was kind and considerate and very capable when it came to following the instructions I hurriedly left her! We're looking forward to having her again!”

“Dhiovana did a great job looking after my puppy Prince, and even gave my cat some attention! Would definitely book her again. Thanks Dhiovana!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud cat mum to two fur babies. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and supporting pets with anxiety or special routines. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and my genuine love for animals. I take time to understand each pet’s personality—whether it’s an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra gentleness. I’m also not afraid of the less glamorous tasks like cleaning litter trays or handling muddy paws! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m currently on holiday from university, so I’m home full-time and have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they need. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. At my home, your pets can enjoy a secure, fenced garden perfect for supervised play and fresh air. I live next to a large park, ideal for walks, exercise, and socialising in a safe outdoor space. Plus, I have two friendly cats who can keep your pets company and help them feel more at home. Whether caring for your pets at my place or yours, I follow their routines closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of love, patience, and attention to their safety and happiness.

About: New users get £15 off their first booking with Rover with code JESSR71897 📣 I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently co-care for our 2 wonderful cocker spaniels with my mum - Lil who is a lively 12-year-old that I’ve raised from a puppy, and Oscar who is a sweet but deeply anxious 7 year who we rescued from a life of trauma from a rescue centre in Wales. Supporting his recovery has taught me so much about patience, gentleness, and tuning into what each dog really needs to feel safe ☺️ I’m currently in between jobs, after stepping away from a high-stress work environment to take a break, reconnect with what I love, and focus on what brings me joy and calm - animals being a huge part of that. Right now, I’ve got all the time in the world to give your dog my full attention, whether that’s long walks, sofa snuggles, or just being a calm, steady presence in their day 🧡 Whether I’m caring for a playful pup or a nervous older dog, I treat them like family - because they are. My approach is grounded, loving, and always tailored to what helps your dog feel their happiest and most relaxed self 🐶 I’m currently in between jobs after stepping away from a high-pressure role, and I’m taking this time to slow down, reset, and focus on the things that bring me joy, animals being a huge part of that. I have plenty of time and flexibility in my days right now, which means your pet will get my full attention and care. Longer term, I plan to return to work in a remote or hybrid role, so dog care will continue to be a natural and regular part of my home routine. I’m used to balancing focus time with dog walks, cuddles, and play breaks — it’s honestly the best way to spend a day! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly flat with no other animals or children, so dogs in my care get a calm and quiet environment with lots of one-on-one attention. While I don’t have a private garden, I’m surrounded by green spaces just a short walk away — including parks and a beautiful riverside path that’s perfect for regular walks and toilet breaks. I co-care for my mum’s two cocker spaniels, Lil and Oscar — they live with her full-time, so they won’t be in the home while I’m caring for other dogs. But if your dog enjoys the company of others, they’re both lovely, gentle, and very sociable — so play dates can absolutely be arranged if that’s something your pup would benefit from! Whether I’m looking after a dog in my own space or staying in their home, I aim to stick closely to their usual routine — from walk times and feeding to any special quirks, meds, or cuddles on the sofa. I want your dog to feel safe, happy, and totally at ease while you’re away — and I’ll always send regular updates so you can relax, too.

“Katie looked after Biscuit for the day at my apartment whilst I was working. She gave regular updates and followed my instructions. She is super lovely, reliable, flexible and I would really recommend. Thank you Katie !”

About: I have hands-on experience with puppy training, including basic obedience, crate training, and potty routines, and I’m very patient and consistent in helping young dogs build good habits. On the other hand, I’ve also provided senior pet care, including administering oral medication, joint care routines, and helping pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. Beyond that, I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative—I always keep owners updated with photos, messages, and any concerns so they have peace of mind. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and that level of personal investment really shows. I’m a teacher but I’m currently on a break so I just want to do what I love and be around positivity a lot more I have a secured apartment and the doors are always lock and can’t be accessed without the help of a human so it’s secured and safe

“Zoe is absolutely wonderful! She’s so friendly, caring, and professional. Our cats adored her and were so well looked after during the three weeks we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which really reassured us and showed just how happy and relaxed the cats were with her. We were able to enjoy our holiday without a single worry. Coming home to a clean and tidy house was the cherry on top. We completely trust Zoe and feel so lucky to have found her—she’ll always be our first choice!”

“Polina was a joy to have sit our nervous pup Charlie! She was caring, enthusiastic and loving and put our boy at ease, he warmed to her quickly! She was conscientious, professional and all round lovely!”

About: I had dogs from the age of 13 to 28 and now I'm just a dog owner without the dog. I picked up lots of training and discipline tips across my time with dogs and generally get on very well with all dogs. I'm happy to give lots of attention to needy dogs or lots of space to nervous ones. I also have a guinea pig but they won't be crossing paths. I work from home 4 days a week with very flexible hours so can give lots of attention and walks if need be. Happy to do morning/lunch time or evening walks. Weekends are a bit more unpredictable but I'm often free at least one day. I've got a secure flat where dogs inclined at making mad dashes for freedom will be met with just another door. Other wise it's a comfy and safe environment and I've had no issues looking after family or friends dogs. I also have a balcony where my mum's dog likes to sunbathe and watch the world go by

“Ella did a great job watching our cockapoo. She was able to fit us in very last minute and followed all our instructions. Would definitely get her to sit again!”
