“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, always had family dogs, undertaken animal study courses and volunteered at ranged charities including dogs trust and dog hydrotherapy centres! I have a small toy poodle who gets along really well with other dogs. I work from home most of the week and can take dogs out for toilet breaks and fun walks whenever needed, or play with them whenever they need some attention! My home is my dogs home so anything is for offer- toys, treats, furniture, a bath if they need it. I have a flat but lots of green areas around me which I take my own toy poodle out to many times a day.
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.
“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: Hi, I’m Pranet. I really love spending time with dogs and have experience in taking them for walks and visiting them. I take great care of them on walks ensuring their safety and the freedom to explore the world. I have taken big dogs and small dogs on walks and my clients were pleased with my service for both of them. I am very flexible with time as I am working through an agency so I can choose which date and time I go to work. I am willing to take dogs on a walk on short notice and am very flexible with time and communicate my availability clearly. I have some experience with dogs and am enthusiastic about working with them, and learning more about their behaviour and personalities. I respect the owner's concern about their dog's habits and what I should do to protect them which is why I have established trust with the owner and their pets.
“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'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.
About: Friendly pet sitter with a genuine love for animals all my life. With a few dogs of my own in the past, I've provided excellent care to friends' and neighbours' pets, ensuring a comfortable and happy experience. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to look after your companion! I am available before 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. Flexible to suit your needs. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy haven with daily play and walks. For home visits, I mirror their routine, ensuring comfort. I provide tailored care, from feeding to play, and updates guarantee a positive and stress-free experience for your pets.
“Harriet is such a star! My dog is very sentimental, she doesn’t like everyone to take her for walks especially particularly about letting the harness on her. I had to emergency travel so I had no choice but ask for help and pray that the person would be able to help and make a bond with Lady in such a short amount of time. I was super lucky I found Harriet, Lady loved her from the first second and seeing that I was able to focus on my family and I was able to focus on my family when they needed me. Forever grateful for her”

About: I’m a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter with 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets of all ages and temperaments. I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, providing feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with both energetic young pets and senior animals who need extra care. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority. I offer flexible availability for drop-in visits and house sitting at your home. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adapt to your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in the pet owner’s home, where pets feel most safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and any special care needs. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and care. I also send regular updates and photos for your peace of mind.
About: I love seeing cats happy which is a very rewarding experience. Great patience with getting them to familiarise with strangers like myself in the beginning. I'm working full-time on a hybrid basis (Mon-Fri) - twice a week at the office which is quite close with public transport. So flexible and willing to adjust times :). For the time being, I'm not hosting cats. Based on my experience from my own cat, lots of playing, brushing, cleaning litter and their food bowls regularly, keeping them close when working or cooking. However, as we know, they need their freedom to roam in the house and a pulled curtain to watch birds!
About: I’ve loved dogs all my life, spending plenty of time around the pups of friends and family. Two years ago, I met my true dogmate, Matlock, a French Bulldog who completely changed my world. Since then, we’ve been side by side almost every moment of the day (working from home means she’s basically my boss!). Together with her Labrador buddy, they’ve trained me far better than I could ever train them. Thanks to them, I’ve learned to understand a dog’s needs, moods, and quirks. I’ll bring that same unconditional love and care to your furry friend. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day and my flat has aircon that can keep your baby comfortable all day. I already have a neutered French Bulldog, so I’m very used to balancing daily walks, playtime, and rest. Caring for pets is a natural part of my everyday routine, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and included. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a nice air con. It’s a cozy, welcoming space where pets feel right at home. Just a short 3-minute walk away, there’s a beautiful park perfect for walks, play, and fresh air. Your dog will be cared for in a safe and loving environment, as if they were part of my own family.
About: I am a 29 ear old girl who previously had a beautiful dachshund for 10 years before moving abroad to London. However, I miss her dearly and now have my own 10 months old friendly Dachshund named Pepperoni who loves other dogs. I am dedicated, clean and very loving with dogs. I am also very active and would love to take dogs on walks with me. I have previously cared for golden retrievers, poodles and german shepherds as well as cocker spaniels. I live alone right next to a massive park so am able to walk the dog and take it out for potty times. Let me know if you need my services and I will be more than happy to help you out! I work from home so will always be at home and am available for boarding as well for during the week, weekends or for extended periods of time. I live in an apartment with access to private balconies, a private garden and a park nearby. I also have a dachshund named Pepperoni who is the friendliest pup ever and loves other dogs.
“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!”


About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 15, as I helped neighbors and family friends look after them while they went on holidays. I grow up with cats and dogs I love teach new tricks, long walks I currently work 3 hours a day, but I have enough time during the day to play with them, go for walks, and I am available for boarding every day, including weekends. I have a fenced garden and an adorable dog who is very friendly and playful, but if it bothers you, I can separate them so they're not in the same space, since my house is big and has several rooms.

“Shania did look after our cat very well. I believe she is a one of the kind/trust worthy sitter. She has been updating us with pictures videos/calls and all the related information about our cat every single day. Leaving a house key with a stranger is not easy but her service made us to think differently. I would highly recommend Shania.💕 ”

Our pet sitter did an excellent job looking after our cat, especially during the recent extreme hot weather. She was reliable, caring, and made sure our cat stayed comfortable and well cared for despite the challenging conditions. We really appreciated the regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Exceptional Care for Mochi & Yoshi! We couldn't be happier with the incredible care Fatima provided for our two British Shorthairs, Mochi and Yoshi, while we were away. Leaving your pets behind is always a bit stressful, but Fatima completely put our minds at ease. She followed their feeding schedules and maintenance routines perfectly, ensuring they felt completely safe and comfortable in their own environment. We absolutely loved the regular updates and photos she sent - it was so reassuring to see them looking so content and relaxed. Fatima is professional, reliable and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the animals she looks after. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and we will definitely be asking her to look after Mochi and Yoshi again in the future! Thank you so much, Fatima! 🐾

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Shuk as our cat sitter. She was kind, reliable, and clearly cared so much about our cats, following all instructions carefully and giving us real peace of mind while we were away. Coming home to happy, relaxed cats says everything — we would happily recommend Shuk to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring cat sitter. Thank you again, Shuk!

Sam was fabulous with my little Frankie. She was very open with communication and provided detailed updates with lots of photos! I found her to be incredibly kind, caring and considerate. I felt instantly comfortable leaving Frankie with her and would absolutely use her again. Thank you Sam! :)
