“Michelle is a very good pet sitter, highly recommended! She keeps us update for every visit and take photos about our every time. Our cat is a very shame one but surprisingly he seems like Michelle a lot per the photos taken. Thanks for your help. Will always book again if we are away.”
“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!😸🌺🩷”
“Katherine was fabulous with our cats! She really looked after them and gave them all the attention they needed :) Katherine always updated us really well so we were never left wondering. She followed our instructions perfectly! Thank you”
“Lucia is a great cat sitter ! She made the effort to meet me and Kiki my cat before her cat sitting drop-ins so she could know about the required specifics beforehand. We received photos and notifications, and a lovely note when dropping off the key. Highly recommend”
“I cannot recommend Ana highly enough! She was immensely helpful with our three cats when we were away. We got daily updates and photos and came back to healthy and happy cats :)”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, from playful puppies to wise senior cats. I don’t just feed and walk animals—I build trust, keep routines consistent, and provide lots of love and attention while you’re away. I’m skilled in administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and noticing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate stress or health concerns. Every pet I care for gets individualized attention, daily updates, and plenty of fun, so owners can feel confident their furry family members are happy, safe, and loved. Your pet won’t just be looked after—they’ll have a new friend. I work part-time, so I’m available for pet visits during the day. I don’t offer overnight stays or boarding, and I don’t take pets to my home—but I’m always happy to come to yours to walk, feed, and spend quality time with your furry friends. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I provide loving, dependable care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I’m happy to feed, walk, play, brush, and give medication if needed. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and safe, with plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.
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.
About: I've grown up with and been around animals my whole life - Cats, dogs, bunnies etc. Animals really do make life better! I treat all pets as if they were my own and do everything in my power to make them happy and comfortable. I've worked at a doggy day care centre so I've engaged with and walked hundreds of dogs of all shapes and sizes and have met countless of their owners also! I have also volunteered at ZSL London Zoo for 6+ years with the Primate and Predators teams, working with and helping to look after monkeys, tigers, lions, otters and more! I'm currently available most days of the week apart from Wednesdays (late evenings are possible), so I'm very flexible at the moment whilst looking for more work. Happy to do walks or drop-ins as early as needed and look after your dog(s) and pet(s) at your place also. At the owner's home, I'll make sure to ask for and learn everything that's required to provide the best care possible! Helping to maintain good routines and make them super comfortable as you're away/out and about.

“It was our second time with Christian and it's been great. Christian is an amazing sitter, very attentive to details and proactive. He does more than simply feeding cats, he plays with them, provides cuddles, makes sure they are healthy and happy. Christian also sends very detailed Rover cards with many photos and videos, and that is very sweet, especially if you have to leave your furry ones for longer. Can't recommend him enough!”
“Giorgos has been amazing with Lincoln. He's visited Lincoln for multiple drop in visits and I come back to a happy dog. Giorgos is responsive and communicative and sends me regular updates. Would not hesitate to engage again!”
About: I’m an attentive and friendly cat sitter based in North London, offering home visits and overnight house sitting for cats only. I have a cat of my own who is a rescue (adopted 5 years ago), so I’m very familiar with building trust, respecting boundaries and adapting to different personalities and comfort levels. I also regularly care for my family’s cats (one shelter, one senior) and have been cat sitting for friends and neighbours for several years, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different routines and temperaments. As a freelancer, I’m flexible with availability and always aim to provide attentive, dependable care you can feel confident in. I've been a freelancer who usually works from home, so cat sitting is easily fit around my working week. Similarly, working from home means that I'm accustomed to taking care of my own cat's needs throughout the day. I often cat-sit for neighbours in the surrounding area, and friends and family, so my flexible work arrangement makes priorising the pets incredibly easy! I treat every home with care and respect and make sure pets feel safe in their own space (for more nervous cats, I'll remove shoes etc. to ensure that noise levels aren't too intense). I follow owners’ instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide plenty of comfort, play, and companionship for cats who need attention, or calm presence for those who prefer independence.
“Derek was the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! Derek went above and beyond in making our cat feel safe and happy and ensured all her needs were met, working his schedule around our cat’s schedule. Derek was attentive, supportive and caring and I would recommend Derek to anyone! We will definitely be asking Derek to cat sit again, our cat instantly took a liking to him and we can tell she is missing him already!”
About: I love animals - I grew up in quite a menagerie, with 3 big dogs (Ridgebacks), a cat, fish, rat, tortoise, and birds! I spent a lot of time around Alsatians growing up (they are one of my fav breeds) and love spending time with and making friends with dogs. I would love to have a dog of my own but unfortunately can't at the moment. I have had a cat for 9 years and am experienced in animal care - I've looked after friends guinea pigs for the past few years when they are away (including administering medication) and also have looked after their dog (who has anxiety and behaviour issues). I am very active and love being outdoors, so if a regular walk/play session isn't enough, I can also take your dog on a 5km run, or even offer a longer exercise session (where I cycle)! I am flexible and attentive, and will adapt sessions to make sure your dog is happy and getting what they need, and that you feel reassured that your dog is in good hands. I am working as a freelancer so can be quite flexible around timings. I'm also available for house-sitting as well to look after your pets when you're away. In your home I will care for your pets the way you ask me to, and will maintain any training/ feeding/ exercise routines you have established.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how much I truly care about making each dog feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to get to know their personality and routine, whether that’s extra playtime for energetic pups or a calm, gentle approach for senior dogs. I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from big, bouncy ones to shy rescues — and I’m confident handling multiple dogs at once. I always send regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is being well cared for. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or sticking to a feeding or medication schedule, I treat every dog like my own. I can provide references :) My availability varies but I can work around your schedule and needs as much as possible for when you need some support to go have a little break with peace of mind :) I always treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I stay alert to any hazards, like open doors or items dogs might get into, and follow all your routines closely to keep things consistent and safe. I make sure your pup feels calm, secure, and happy while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Family and friends have trusted me to look after, walk and play with their pets. As well as check in and feed their pets. I have trained my own Labrador when she was 1/2 years old. I’m currently mostly working from home so I am available to look after/ check on your dogs during the weekdays! Weekdays from 9-6 work well for me. I have a fenced garden and one very friendly Labrador who’s well trained to keep your dog/ cat company! Happy to also come to your home during the week to do check ins and look after your pets!
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: Hi! I’m Bulent , and I love caring for pets of all personalities. I provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles, adapting to each pet’s energy and temperament. I prioritize safety, supervise all interactions, and give extra care to pets with special needs. I’m experienced managing multiple pets, keeping them happy, comfortable, and stress-free. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in loving hands! While I’d love to have a pet of my own, I currently can’t commit the full time and budget they deserve. Becoming a Rover sitter allows me to give pets the love I also have my own car, which allows me to take them to a park of your choice for some fun and exercise. I have a flexible job, so I’m available on weekdays—Monday to Thursday—after 3 PM, and I don’t work full days on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. During the times I’m free, I’ll make sure to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll do my very best to make their time with me enjoyable and stress-free I live in a flat with adjustable heating and cooling, so your pets will always be comfortable and well-ventilated. I also have my own car, which allows me to take them to a park of your choice for some fun and exercise. If you’d like, I can spend extra time with them providing love, attention, and even some basic training to help them learn new skills while keeping them happy and safe

I have booked Jade several times already and it has always been an absolute pleasure having my cat Wallis being taken care of by her. She always shows professionalism, and handles attentively all needs my cat would need. Photos and videos are sent daily, and my cat is always super happy to see her every time she sits him. She also knows when to play and when to leave him space, and understands his needs! Jade is a great pet sitter, I will continue booking her in the future and would definitely recommend her to others ☺️

We’d happily book Christian again and would recommend to anyone who is looking for someone to take superb care of their cat.
