“Nicole was fantastic to work with, she was flexible, caring, and a fantastic communicator. She updated and knew our Nugget was being well looked after. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was 13, and my love for animals started even earlier. I grew up around them on my grandparents’ farm. I’m now a proud owner of two cats and a dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. With years of hands-on experience, I’m confident providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. As a student, I’ve built a routine that allows me to balance my studies with doing what I love, caring for animals. I have free time during the day and on weekends, which means I can give your pets plenty of attention, play, and cuddles. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I always follow the owner’s routine to keep pets happy and comfortable. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and exercise, and have company if they like cuddles or just someone nearby. I’ll also keep the space tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our cats, despite their fussy routines! She handled all the meds perfectly as well and we came back to a clean house and happy kitties. Will definitely book her again in future :)”
About: My husband and I both owned dogs back at our home country respectively, and we both missed them very dearly. We had our dogs since they were 2 weeks old, my husband is great at training puppies and I am organized in keeping the hygiene of the pets. I am a stay at home wife, which allows me to have plenty of time to keep the pets well accompanied and taken care of. It's an apartment with just my husband and I, we do not have kids around nor other pets here so the pets will not face any conflicts and have plenty of space.
About: I bring lifelong experience with dogs and cats, compassionate care from puppies to seniors. You can expect reliability, patience, and genuine love given to your best fur-end. I am currently off sick from work after undergoing cancer treatment. However I am ready to make use of my days and looking after your animal is where I would like to start! Typically, I work a hybrid job working from home 2 days a week. I live in a house with a fenced garden and a cat/dog flap that can be covered if needed. We own plenty of toys from soft bears to squeaky balls to make sure your pet is always occupied.
About: Hello everyone I am 27 years old I work full time in early years I’ll be able to attend to the cat early morning or evening time as long as the flexibility of the time is okay weekend anytime.I have a cat his name is Tom, Tommy, yum yum also known as Tom the talking cat I named him that after that game from when I was young he is 8 years old tabi. I can cover all the areas in east London I am also willing to work in Canary Wharf, Romford, Dagenham, barking, Ilford, Redbridge.
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.
About: Hi my name is Simona I am A loving and trustworthy animal lover I’m a friendly, caring and responsible dog lover who would be very happy to look after your little one while you’re away or u need to work I have my own dog(my flatmate dog /half mine), so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can genuinely trust. I’m very attentive to dogs’ needs, routines and personalities, and I want them to feel safe, comfortable and loved while they’re with me. I live in a friendly home with my flatmate, and we both love dogs. Your dog would have plenty of company, attention and affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I mainly welcome small and small-to-medium-sized dogs who are comfortable in a home environment. I’m happy to offer daycare or overnight stays, particularly during weekends. Whether you need someone to look after your dog for the day, a weekend, or while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, cuddles, playtime and attention. I know that leaving your dog with someone new can feel worrying, so I’m happy to keep you updated with messages and photos or video call during their stay, so you can relax knowing your little one is happy and well looked after. Most importantly, I will treat your dog with the same kindness, patience and care that I would want someone to give to my own dog. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, especially at weekends. Since I work I bank Monday to Friday I have most weekend free :) I already have my dog, so I’m used to providing daily care, walks, playtime, feeding and lots of attention. I’m available mainly during weekends for daycare and overnight stays, and I can dedicate plenty of time to the dogs staying with me. I enjoy having dogs around and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for in a calm home environment. I’m also happy to follow each dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks and any special requirements. When caring for a pet in their owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and rest. I understand that dogs feel most comfortable when their routine stays familiar. I’m respectful of the owner’s home and treat it with the same care and consideration as I would my own. I’ll give the dog plenty of attention, affection and companionship, while also respecting their space and individual personality. I’m happy to keep the owner updated with messages and photos, so they can relax knowing their dog is safe, comfortable and well cared for while they’re away.
“Ri was great with Ziggy! No issues at all and kept the place tidy. Needed a dog sitter last minute and she was able to accommodate. Kept in touch during the dog sit and made me feel comfortable after not having the best experience with the previous dog sitter. Highly recommend! Thanks Ri!”

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.
“Ainhoa looked after our Jack Russell for 6 days. We were away of UK and she stayed at our home during the days. She followed our instructions and was sending us pictures and small videos everyday. We found the house clean and Roki was well looked. If we need a sitter again, we will definitely contact her again.”
“Addison came to look after our 2 cats and our dog in our home for the evening. She was incredibly affectionate with them all, super friendly and kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and messages! She even got our very nervous cat to come down for a cuddle and sent a gorgeous report card to summarise their stay which was a lovely touch. Addison clearly has a way with animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for some loving care for their pets! :)”
“Sepideh is a dream cat sitter. She kept my Zinnia very happy and safe. Plus, she sent me lots of photos and updates. She was flexible, communicative and very friendly. Would 100% recommend and rebook. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had 2 dogs with my family for more than 10 years and have taken care of them both. I can follow instructions easily and have experience in giving prescribed medications to dogs due to one of ours taking medication for most of his doggy life. I currently work 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home and off on weekends. I can care for your pet on the days I’m off and working from home easily. I’m comfortable with whatever the owner need and want for their pets as long as instructions are communicated. I own a car and can travel to places if needed.

Lily was absolutely unbelievable! My dog does not take well to new people and Lily handled her like an absolute professional. She was flexible and adapted to the situation based on what was best for my dog and allowed me to fully relax on my holiday despite how nervous I was to go away. She is calm, cool, and collected even in the face of a very nervous and stressed out dog and I can’t thank her enough for how wonderful she was!
We had the great pleasure in meeting Nicole and welcoming her into our home for just over a week to look after our beloved Cat. Nicole was friendly warm and professional from theoutset. Arranging to meet us ahead of the stay and also coming over the day before to pick up keys and for a final check of everything. Nicole was absolutley fantastic and seemed to have a way with our Cat that not many others do. She connected stright away and was very knowledgable about animals. We had great confidence in leaving her at our home and looking after our cat. Whilst away Nicole kept us fully updated with texts and photos which kept us amused and also allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday. Upon returning home, the fatat was spotless and the cat wass very relaxed and happy. We would not hesitate in asking Nicole to come and do this for us whenever we go away again - THANK YOU NICOLE, absolute pleasure!! :-) Gary and Claire
Kelly was incredibly kind and gentle with Wasabi. Wasabi had a wonderful time with her, and it was clear that Kelly is reliable, caring, and attentive. We felt completely at ease knowing Wasabi was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again!

Susanna is such a great find on rover. She was able to accommodate us last moment and was so understanding of all the requirements of our demanding animals. Returned to a very neat house and happy pets, she also sent us the cutest photo updates. We would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Khushi looked after our dog for the day and we had a great experience. She was kind, reliable, and clearly very caring with animals. We came back to a very happy and relaxed dog. We felt completely at ease and would happily trust Khushi again in the future. Highly recommended!
Annie has been great looking after Zeus! Communication was great and she made sure she followed Zeus’s routine and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. The communication beforehand was great as well - making sure we felt comfortable before the handover! Would recommend Annie! Thank you!
Karly was a great sitter! One of those people you can just tell loves cats! Our boy is very clingy, but when we came home he barely even glanced at us, which is a sure sign that Karly gave him all the attention and love he needed while we were away (and he needs a lot!). She really went the extra mile with his care and was super helpful with things like bins and mail, asked clarifying questions about his care, sent regular updates and pictures, and left the house exactly as it was when she arrived. We also have catcams and she was very fine with them remaining on the whole time we were away, which I think really says good things about her trustworthiness. Very responsible and trustworthy, I definitely recommend her as your next catsitter!
Faith was a phenomenal sitter for us and took exceptional care of Ophelia. Prior to the booking, Faith took the time to properly understand Ophelia's needs, play style, and overall well-being. Throughout the week, she provided daily updates and even helped Ophelia develop better habits—like sitting patiently while her dinner is prepared—which is something we’ve struggled with in the past. She even taught her new tricks that we are looking forward to practicing! We absolutely loved Faith's care and attention to Ophelia's needs, as well as her understanding of our communication style while we were away. It gave us total peace of mind during our first holiday apart from her. We would absolutely recommend Faith to any pet owners seeking a knowledgeable and caring sitter who treats your pet like their own. Thank you so much, Faith; we came home to a happy, playful cat who truly enjoyed the time she spent with you.
First class service! Alice was incredibly reliable and took excellent care of Wasabi. She arrived on time and looked after him attentively throughout the day. Wasabi was clearly very happy and comfortable in her care. We will definitely be booking Alice again and would highly recommend her to others without hesitation.
