Shania is a brilliant cat-sitter! Attentive and punctual, she made my few days off stress-free while taking care of my really young kitten. Got back and found a bigger kitten :) and most of all happy and chatty! Fully recommended :)

Xin Yi is amazing! She looked after Lucifer so well, not just fed and cleaned but really spent time with him. I loved regular photo updates, some of the shots are priceless ;) i could really see my cat feeling comfortable and entertained. I felt like I can really relax on my holiday, thank you <3 I have already re-booked.

Ainhoa was absolutely amazing! She spent plenty of quality time playing with my kittens and made sure they were happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned, my pets seemed extremely happy... which is every pet owner’s wish. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable.

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.

Normally my Daughter looks after Albie, but my Granddaughter has become allergic and was recently hospitalised. At such short notice I was struggling to find anyone suitable and really thought I would have to cancel my trip. I came across Rover online and messaged Jingjing. She was professional, friendly and even though I put in the wrong dates, still managed to accommodate my very last minute request. We arranged a meet and greet - Albie immediately went to Jing and really liked her. I left instructions and Jing followed them perfectly. I received pictures, videos and feedback and will happily call on Jing for the future. I highly recommend this lovely young lady 🥰

About: I’ve taken care of different breeds of dogs since i was 10 and my neighbours have relied on me for walking, changing the dogs water and playing with them while they have been on holiday. I’m currently not working and have all the time in the world to look after your beautiful pets. Also to give them as much attention as they need I have an animal care qualification so can meet all your animals dietary requirements and assist on any guidance if you are struggling on what food suits your animals best.

About: Hi! I’m a 27-year-old dog lover who has always been surrounded by animals. Growing up, I cared for different breeds, from a loyal German Shepherd to a sweet Shih Tzu, and I now have a 1-year-old Jack Russell × Dachshund. Over the past few years, I’ve also been dog sitting and walking, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different and always adapt my care to their individual needs. I work full-time and pet sit in my free time because I genuinely love spending time with dogs. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or simply some cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also Pet First Aid trained, so your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away 🐾 I generally work office hours, so I’m usually available in the afternoons and evenings. However, I can be flexible and adjust my schedule when needed, depending on your requirements. Unfortunately I live in an apartment, so I don't have a real courtyard, but I have a large garden right under my house, so it would be perfect.

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.

Laura was excellent, she was great in communicating with us and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well cared for during her drop ins. She exceeded our expectations and then some. She also took initiative to learn his routines to help him with his seperation anxiety while we left him alone for thre first time at length. Would highly recommend and use again!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger, always had family dogs, and have qualifications in animal care and science. I have also volunteered at ranged charities including dogs trust and dog hydrotherapy centres in my spare time and genuinely have a passion for canine care, and enjoy spending time with dogs. I have a small toy poodle called Ruby who gets along well with other dogs. I work from home most of the week and so can regularly take dogs out for toilet breaks or fun walks whenever needed. Having flexibility allows me to focus on the dogs too, I can play with them whenever they need some attention or provide enrichment and care when they need it. I have access to a car and so can travel to fun parks too or other places quick if needed. My home and supplies are my dogs so anything is for offer: plenty of toys, treats, furniture, a bath or grooming if they need it. I have a flat but lots of green areas and parks around me which I take my own toy poodle out to many times a day. I ensure dogs that need care whilst their owner is on holiday, away for work or otherwise, are able to get the care and daily enrichment they need.

About: I've always loved being around pets, and I spent my teen years with my lovely do, Mya. I have been dogsitting in London since moving here 6 years ago, and love meeting all the different doggies around. I am a freelance translator, so I set my own timings most of the time, making it easy to organise a flexible schedule for the day. I am not able to host pets in my house, but I am more than happy to visit and/or stay at the pet's residence. I am a very clean a respectful person, especially in spaces that are not mine. I understand the importance for some pets to stay in their safe environment.

Ana is an absolutely fantastic cat sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants true peace of mind while they’re away. Her communication was brilliant from start to finish, and I loved receiving her daily updates and photos — they were thoughtful, detailed, and showed just how well she cared for my cat Winston. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and my cat was relaxed, happy, and so well looked after. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We booked David through Cat in a Flat for the first time while we were away on holiday, to look after our two cats, and we honestly couldn’t have been happier with the service. From the very beginning, David was so reliable, friendly and professional. He came to meet us beforehand to collect the key, which really put our minds at ease before we went away. While we were on holiday, he took such great care of our cats and kept our home absolutely spotless. David really went above and beyond what we expected. He kept us updated, sent us photos of the cats while we were away, and it was lovely being able to see that they were happy and being well looked after. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in safe hands. This was our first time using a cat-sitting service, and David made the whole experience completely stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring and reliable to look after their pets. Thank you so much, David! We’ll definitely be using you again next time we go away. 🐾❤️

Yvonne is excellent at taking care of our cat Sandy. We were worried that our cat will be anxious and lonely when we left him but he bonded with Yvonne very quickly and it gives us peace of mind to see how happy he was whenever Yvonne visited. She’s also very easy to work with and ensure that Sandy is doing well while we’re away. Thank you Yvonne!

Shania has been incredible. Our boy Ninja is usually very shy and hides from strangers so was expecting not much interaction. We were surprised to see him interacting with Shania and greeting her. She has a way with him and made us feel so happy knowing he was getting social time and not just food etc. Shes a kind caring sitter, sent photos and videos daily, keeping us updated thoroughly. Would highly recommend her services and will be using her again as and when needed. Thanks Shani, Ninja will miss you and glad you got the best out him.

Xiyuan visited my 2 cats (13 years old) once a day during 1 week. She was very kind, reliable, conscientious and used to cats (also old cats as mines). One of my cats was a bit ill, Xiyuan communicated with me, sent me feedback and gave me informations precisely. She sent me pictures and videos everyday day. I felt very comfortable with her and strongly recommend her. She is also a very nice person.
