Caroline looked after Alfie and Toulouse for a week, and we couldn’t be happier. She truly is a cat whisperer — even our shy one, who rarely comes out for anyone, happily went to her at every visit. We received lovely videos and photos, which was such a thoughtful touch. Thank you, Caroline. We will definitely be booking with you again!😸🌺🩷

Lucia was amazing with our cat! They got along instantly, and his affection for her showed in the daily photos she sent us. Her daily updates on our cat's well-being were sweet and informative. She was very professional, accomodating and flexible. The perfect cat-sitter for our Christmas holiday trip. We'll definitely be using her services again!

Jade was excellent. She took the time to come meet the cats ahead of the cat sitting and spend time listening to us ramble on about all their quirks. The cats warmed up to her quickly. She was very communicative and sent updates every day with videos and pictures. There were no issues and she held onto keys in case of travel disturbances. Great!

Roxanne was an absolute godsend and I am so grateful we booked her to look after Pippin for the duration of our time away! Pippin tends to be shy and reserved but he warmed up to her quickly and we recieved some lovely update from her about his time with her. She kept to his feeding schedule really well, and we would definitely recommend her!

About: I have owned pets since I was young so understand the responsibility of looking after an animal. I grew up with my family staffi x who we adopted around 11/12 years ago, she is a nervous reactive dog so I have experience and some basic training from the rspca in that area. Through out my life I have looked after cats and dogs while my friends or family have been on holiday or away, taking care of their daily needs. I previously experience helping my friend who has her own dog sitting business, assisting with walks and making sure they get exercise, plenty of play time and of course cuddles and treats, doing this is what inspired me to make my rover profile. I currently work part time (tues, wed, thurs) with a charity so I have two free week days during the week that I would love to fill doing something I enjoy. With my job I do two days in the office and one day from home so I am able to do weekday stays as long as your pet is able to be left for around four hours two days of the week. Every animal is different so I will make it my mission to build a trusting relationship with your pet, tailoring myself to their needs and always following instructions from the owner as they know their animal best.

Cheryl is a reliable and trustworthy cat sitter. She took excellent care of my cat, Coco, while I was away and kept everything running smoothly. It was reassuring to know Coco was in good hands, and I returned home to a happy and well-cared-for cat. Communication was great throughout, and everything went exactly as planned. I am very happy to recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for a dependable cat sitter, and I will definitely use her services again in the future.

About: Hi, I’m Kat! North London HR professional and dog lover who shares my home with Thoth, my 5-year-old Norwegian Forest cat. I have strong experience with senior dogs – particularly caring for an elderly Shih Tzu, managing his daily medication and special care needs. My experience includes: - Dogs from 6-month-old puppies to 14-year-olds - All breeds, all ages – I adapt to each dog's individual needs I work for a defence company (fully vetted) and offer some weekday/evening/weekend walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight boarding (my place or yours). Medication management, gentle routines, personalised care – I treat every dog like my own! I work full-time in a hybrid role (3 days WFH), so I have flexible availability: - WFH days: Extra time for walks/drop-ins, or I can stay at your place (with WiFi access) - Weekdays: Available after 5pm + overnights when needed - Weekends: Free Fri–Sun, all day and night In my North London home: Thoth (my curious indoor Norwegian Forest cat) stays indoors but loves watching garden visitors from the window. The garden door stays closed, but we have a secure communal garden (fully fenced, no street access) if your dog needs space to play. No other pets nearby – neighbours don’t own pets, so it’s a calm environment. Parks nearby – just a quick 10–15 min walk away for exercise and fresh air. In your home (house sitting): I follow your routines exactly – feeding, medication, walks, playtime. Secure doors/windows always checked; I treat your home like my own. Happy to water plants, bring in post, or do light housework too.

About: Calm, experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of dogs and cats. I grew up with a family dog for 13 years, which gave me a deep understanding of daily care, routine, and the bond pets build with their people. I’ve travelled across Australia caring for cats and dogs in a variety of homes, gaining hands-on pet sitting experience with different routines, personalities, and environments. I’ve also worked with a support dog puppy breeder for 3 weeks, where I gained practical experience with training, structure, and early development. Alongside this, I’m training as a dog groomer and learning canine first aid, so safety, care, and attention to detail are always a priority. Most of all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have full availability until mid June to end of July when I start my dog grooming course. I will have days in between off, and I will be available for evening walks and check ins. I respond quickly and honestly so you can feel assured with your plans. In a pet owner’s home, I treat the space with full respect and keep things clean, tidy, and consistent so pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, especially those who are shy, anxious, or need a gentler approach, and I adjust my care to suit their needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, rest, and any specific instructions from the owner. I live with my parents (I’m 30, it’s 2026, it is what it is) in a semi-detached house. Your fur babies will have access to the nice large, fenced garden, warm converted garage space and open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area. We are an animal-loving family.

Nolwenn did a fantastic job looking after our two cats for nearly a week. We were worried as it was the first time leaving them so long, but it was clear she had kept them extremely happy and calm - her daily updates were really reassuring. She went the extra mile by regularly letting one of our cats out through the door (as she refuses to use the cat flap) and waited patiently for her to enjoy some outside time.

About: Growing up, I have always been around pets and taken care of them for family members, friends, and neighbours. I have a love for any range of animals, especially from having a dog and cat myself. I am flexible with any Rover needs, just at least a few days notice is required, and your pet will be happy being walked or looked after by me! I am currently a student at the University of Chester, which is very close to my house, and I only tend to have one or two classes a day so I am available the majority of the days to look after pets. I am happy to go on constant walks and to play with the pets. am also happy to go to someone else’s house to look after their dog or cat, as well as check-ins.

About: Hello there :) I am a 36 years old French/British used to animals as I grew up with an adorable Shitzu and two cats. There is now another Shitzu in my mum's house back in France that I miss a lot. I now have my own 3,5 years old Sheltie, that is the sweetest dog in the world ! She is on the shy side, so I am used to handle and train her gently. She showed great progress since the beginning. I am currently staying at home and therefore am always available to keep the dog company. I also have a enclosed small garden with grass for their natural needs. My partner is also at home half of the week, and we go for dog walks together. Hope to meet you soon ! I am always at home, so can take the dog out fairly easily and keep company. We then have a daily walk after work in the evening. I have a enclosed small garden with grass for their natural needs, and am walking distance of parks and meadows such as Whestone Stray and Brook Farm open space.

About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes - providing feeding, walking, medication, and plenty of love. Please note: To keep things running smoothly, I archive requests that haven't received a response. Leaving a request 'hanging' unfortunately removes my profile from search results and prevents others from booking, so I must clear inactive chats to stay visible Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any specific needs each pet has. Whether it’s morning cuddles, midday check-ins, or evening strolls, caring for animals brings structure and joy to my day. It’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. I care for pets with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Whether in my home or a pet owner’s, I stick to their routine - feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like medications. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and never lonely, keeping communication open with daily updates and photos for peace of mind.

Amazing Ashleigh! We have a very shy cat which normally runs away from any visitors to hide- not with Ashleigh ! Bonnie turns into a cuddly and friendly cat . Only a cat whisperer could do this! Ashleigh is the perfect cat sitter - very professional, organised, calm and caring. Communication is outstanding when we are away so we can relax and enjoy our break while Bonnie enjoys hers with her new best friend. Thank you Ashleigh.

Jade cat sat for the second time for us and our cats were pleased to see her again which is undoubtedly a good sign! This time was more complex as Leo was in need of wound cleaning and antibiotic and steroid treatment but she handled it without issue and we came home to a cat looking healthier than when we left!
