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: 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: 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.
“Kasia was WONDERFUL! She made the first time leaving my kitten effortless and stress free. She kept me constantly updated providing the reassurance I needed that my little girl was safe and happy. Kasia has a clear love and passion for our furry friends and I will absolutely be using her again. Thank you! :)”

About: I have taken care of many breeds of dogs for over 7 years including French bulldogs, pugs, golden retriever, Maltese, King Charles spaniel, and Cavapoo to name some. I am aware of their different needs and personalities and have thoroughly enjoyed caring for all of them from puppy to old age! I have some freedom with my time at the moment to give catered attention and care to pets through the day. I have been sitting for 2 dogs on a regular basis for the last 3 years, and I have a lot of experience with dogs who are anxious, and need more tailored care than others. I keep owners up to date and understand the need to feel comfortable and communicated with when away from your pets! I also can’t wait to own a doggo myself one day! I currently work hybrid and have some freedom and flexibility to go for walks when needed, if booked in advance and can provide some last minute help on days that I am not in the office I live in a private building that is pet owner friendly with lots of fellow dogs going for walks in the local park and common. Building is secure and protected by fob-only access. My flat is spacious enough and has outside secured balcony space for pets to roam or get fresh air. I live in a residential area with a large park to take nice walks near. I have a selection of some dog toys that I keep incase my friends pets visit and create a great space for them!
“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.”

“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 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 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: I had a vizsla for two years and when they moved out I brought on Pete, the Cypriot rescue whos a mix of Beagle, Pointer and Lab.

“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.💕 ”

About: Hey there! I'm Faith, a long-time pet and housesitter. I would love to get a dog, but it's not the right time for me, but I have all the time in the world for your loved ones. You may have noticed that my Rover profile is relatively new, I have been slowly gathering reviews on TrustedHousesitters, including: Emmanuella's review "Delighted to recommend Faith, who has always taken excellent care of my cat, Mubi, while I'm away. Faith is attentive, caring, and reliable and Mubi, who usually doesn't warm up to most people, is always happy and well cared for with Faith" and Laurens review "Faith was amazing with Dug, always ensuring he got plenty of playtime and socialising while I was at work. She’d pick him up, take him to parks, and he’d come back so happy and relaxed—her genuine love for dogs and reliability make her such a fantastic person for anyone looking for a pet sitter x". I've been dog walking, visiting pets at home and housesitting for years now. It all started with family, friends and colleagues and has since grew to travelling up and down the country for regulars who request for me to look after their pets for weeks at a time while they travel. My experience is varied - I've worked with livestock on farms, taken care of little pomeranians and larger mastiffs and I've also looked after small pets including parrots, rabbits, turtles and geckos. I have looked after several neighbours cats and done many overnight and daytime house visits with some wonderful cats and dogs. I used to be big on travel, and petsitting has allowed me to visit some incredible places. But I travel less these days and now would like to welcome pets into my home too. I'm communicative and will happily provide as many or as few updates, pictures/videos as you'd like. You won't have to second-guess whether your pet is okay or not. I promise your dog, cat or small animal will get alllll the love - I'm 100% an animal lover and do this because I find it therapeutic to take care of, walk and play with pets, the money is honestly just a bonus. Looking forward to hearing from you I work flexibly from home, so they will get plenty of attention. I'm looking forward to lots of walks and play & even trying out some new tricks. I live in an apartment but have access to a fenced green area across the road as well as regularly taking myself on walks throughout the day - I'm able to pop out any time if your dog needs to go toilet etc.
“Excellent service, Katerina was very communicative and attentive to our cats. She definitely put their needs first, even going beyond what was strictly booked to ensure they were fed and looked after. I am sure Shoonti and Orla are going to miss her! I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services for future sits.”

Barking pet owners share their Rover experiences
It was our first time booking Lucas, he look after our 3 fur babies really well. They looked happy in the daily updates, he interacted with all 3 of them which put our minds at ease during our 15 night break. Would highly recommend Lucas as a sitter. Everything was in order when we got home, happy cats and an orderly house. Thanks again Lucas.

Rachel was a great pet sitter — very responsible, reliable, and easy to communicate with. She followed all the care instructions carefully and made sure everything was well taken care of. I really appreciated her professionalism and attention to detail. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in safe hands. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Kay took wonderful care of my cat, Bonnie, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly experienced with cats. Throughout the sitting period, she kept everything clean and organised, and Bonnie looked relaxed and well cared for when I returned. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Bonnie was in such good hands. I would happily recommend Kay to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Anke Ruth and her wonderful family provided an extremely thorough, reassuring and caring home drop-in service for our cat Gatcha while we were away for Christmas. We were impressed by the level of detail and care they put into every aspect of the job, and we loved seeing the many pictures and videos they provided during the stay to reassure us that he was happy and fine. Extra special mention to their wonderful daughter Sophia who left us lovely drawings of Gatcha - which we will keep on the fridge from here. Thank you all for a job extremely well done, we really appreciate your work ❤️

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Shuk to look after our fur babies while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we met, Shuk was professional, friendly, and made me feel confident that our fur babies would be in great hands. Throughout the days, She was incredibly communicative. I received daily updates and adorable pictures of my pets, which really put my mind at ease. Not only did Shuk follow all of our instructions, but he went above and beyond, providing extra attention and playtime, which I really appreciated. When I returned home, Lilly and Chibi were happy, healthy, and relaxed, which is exactly what I hoped for. I will book her service again :)
Rebooked with Araceli for a weekend away from the house and our darling boy Cookie was very happy to see her! Araceli sent us pictures, updates, and stayed on top of communication the whole time so we didn’t worry. Won’t be looking for other people now that I know she’s PERFECT for the job.

Excellent service, Katerina was very communicative and attentive to our cats. She definitely put their needs first, even going beyond what was strictly booked to ensure they were fed and looked after. I am sure Shoonti and Orla are going to miss her! I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services for future sits.

Wonderful! Charlotte & her partner were the perfect pet sitters for our cat Monty. Great communication, friendly and reliable. We got lots pictures and a little update after each visit which was much appreciated. Monty was clearly a happy boy and well looked after. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future! x

I can’t recommend Làszlo highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear they had a genuine love for animals and a calm, confident energy. While I was away, he provided daily updates with photos and notes, which made me feel completely reassured and connected. I will definitely be booking again for future trips. :)
