“Alexandra is fantastic. This is the second time we've had her look after our cats and she's done it for a full week whilst away as drop in visits. My cats really love her which is so relieving and they have been so well looked after. She went above and beyond for them this week. Thank you so much. We will be having her look after them again in future for definite.”

“Nikita looked after my cat over the weekend and did a great job! She followed all my instructions, my house was just as I left it and Marnie was well taken care of- I’ll definitely book her again in future! 💖”

About: I have a little pet care experience, watching over my friends cats Nelson and Dorito for a couple times. My family also had a German shepherd I used to look after. Fury friends always make me smile whenever I see them on the walk, and I dream about the day we’re going to welcome a dog to our home as well. I’m currently taking some time off work, so available most of the time during week and weekends as well, so gladly spend some quality time looking after your loved ones. I don’t have any pets, but your dog is going to be very loved by my family who adore pets as much as I do, if you need an over night stay.
“Billy did a really good job. Our cat had the best care we could wish for. Billie was very nice and kept us up to date with everything. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Billie!”


About: I have forever loved animals, from worms and ladybugs, to my gerbils and guinea pigs and finally my big pup, Marley, who is a 1 year old staffy/cane corso with a LOT of energy and emotional disregulation! I have always had a big heart for capturing the unconditional bond between humans and creatures and I am excited to meet, get to know and love your pets! I am athletic, creative and love the outdoors, from my hobbies such as bouldering, crochet and camping to my chosen career path in music technology to recently becoming a scout leader. I have the energy and the passion to take great care of your furry friends as well as a flexible schedule that can fit around your pet needs. 🐞🧗♀️💗 I have recently finished college and will be starting university in September, while continuing to live at home which gives me a flexible and stable schedule. I also work a part-time job in retail, mainly Friday-Sunday but my timetable remains flexible around my shifts. During the week, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime and general pet-care. I am reliable, organised and able to adapt my schedule when it’s needed. I can also drive, allowing me to be able to travel easily, and be flexible with bookings and timings!! 🚙🐕💗 I have hands-on experience with different types of dogs and personalities. I own a young, adolescent, furry friend called Marley, who is a staffy-cane corso mix, and is very energetic and requires structure, supervision and crate sleeping, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency and managing high-energy dogs safely. I have also worked with much calmer dogs, such as Jack the Whippet - my boyfriend’s dog, who enjoys to lounge about all day and requires a much quieter routine. 🐕⭐️ When caring for pets in an owners home, I always try and keep them comfortable and stick to their usual routine as much as possible. I am happy to follow any instructions owners leave for feeding, walks, crate routines, training or anything else that helps their pet feel settled and happy!! 😊 During walks and drop-ins, I prioritise safety, staying aware of surroundings and making sure pets are comfortable and happy at all times! I understand that every pet is different and I adapt my approach to suit each furry friend’s personality, needs and energy levels!☺️🐈⬛

“Lovely lady, cats happy and well cared for. Puts my mind at ease knowing my cats are safe and looked after when I am away. Very professional. happy for her to look after my boys again”

About: Fully insured, 28 year old professional woman with over 10 years experience working with dogs. Dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities are welcome. I'm especially good with dogs that are misbehaved, anxious, or cautious of strangers. I spend a lot of time with the animals within my care in order to put them at ease and go at their own pace whilst maintaining their needs. I'm also more than happy to look after any of your more non-typical pets (see below). After a childhood spent around vast numbers of dogs of varying breeds, I'm very familiar with all the different types of personalities. I live in a house with dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, rescue-pigeons and pet rats and have vast experience looking after all of these species and am happy to help with your fluffy and unusual pets too. Your pets will be treated with love and care, and you can rest assured they're in very capable hands. Let me know your needs and I'll be more than happy to help out. I am available after 17:30 during the weekdays and fully available during weekends are currently my availability. My availability is set to increase massively once I am able to make this my full-time career. I am happy to meet you prior to your first appointment to discuss the individual needs and requirements of your furry family members. House visits: Food and water refills, cuddles & attention, a leg stretch and perhaps letting them out in the yard (if available). Any messes will be cleaned up and disposed of properly. Walking: Dogs will be kept on lead at all times and walked locally to the owners property. I have experience with nervous and run-away dogs, so please feel at ease that your dog will be looked after responsibly whilst in my care. Any special requirements you have, please let me know.
About: Hi, I’m Chloe! ☺️ I’ve always had a huge passion for animals, and truly can’t think of anything better than spending my days with dogs! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by pups of all shapes and sizes — from Great Danes and Springer Spaniels to a cheeky little Jack Russell — so I know just how different (and special!) every dog’s personality can be. I live in Milton, Barnsley. This means I am super close to several large parks and miles of gorgeous countryside — the perfect spots for long or short walks, exploring, and getting all that happy energy out. Whether your pooch loves a good game of fetch or a steady countryside stroll, I’ll make sure they have the best time. Any dogs I look after are treated like my own — plenty of love, cuddles, and maybe a few too many treats! You can relax knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and being completely spoiled while you’re away. I love nothing more than spoiling your pooch - rest assured your baby will be treat like the prince or princess that they are whilst youre away! I will photograph/video & update everything we get up to so you feel like you are with us the whole time (unless you need a break!) 🐶💛 My prices vary and I am more than open to a discussion about pricing to what suits your needs! I have been walking dogs since I was 11 - My family had a springer spaniel and I used to walk him everywhere - he was so active and so am I - so we worked well! Since this, I have always enjoyed walking pooches. I lived in Leeds for 10 years and had a few regular dogs that I walked and looked after including a Cocker Spaniel, Staffie & Schnauzer. My Availability 🐾 I currently work Monday to Friday from 8:30-4PM - but my weekends are all about the dogs! 🐶💛 From Friday evening through Sunday night, I’m completely free to look after your pups and give them my full attention. Whether they love long countryside walks or just want to curl up on the sofa for snuggles, I’ve got them covered. I’m lucky to have lots of lovely walking routes nearby — perfect for getting some fresh air and tail wags in! And if your dog prefers a more relaxed vibe, they’re always welcome to make themselves at home and chill on the sofa with me. 🐕🛋️ Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a cozy house with a large, secure garden — perfect for safe playtime and fresh air. Being in a rural area means we’re surrounded by peaceful countryside walks and quiet lanes, ideal for relaxed strolls or energetic adventures, depending on your pup’s personality. I take every precaution to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, cared for, and safe at all times. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and complete peace of mind knowing your dog is in loving, responsible hands. 💛
“Marie came and fed our cats and cleaned their litter on time. She is very responsive in communication and punctual. Our girls are very shy and her approach was gentle with them - I think had we been away for longer our kitties would have interacted but they're just very shy.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, and puppies. My background in education has taught me to be patient, observant, and highly attentive—qualities that translate directly into excellent pet care. I’m confident handling energetic pets who need active engagement as well as calmer or senior animals who require a gentler, more structured routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, genuine affection for animals, and strong communication skills. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and stimulated while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, reinforcing positive behaviours, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also comfortable supporting senior pets with slower-paced walks, medication reminders, and extra care when needed. My goal is always to make your pet’s time with me feel like a second home—safe, fun, and full of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of availability and genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend bookings, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it's regular walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care, making sure they’re never rushed and always get the time, patience, and engagement they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities whenever I care for someone’s pet. Whether I’m looking after them in my home or in the owner’s home, I create a calm, structured, and secure environment so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all routines exactly as instructed—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are always properly secured, keep a close eye on the pet’s behaviour, and maintain a clean, tidy environment. I respect the owner’s space and ensure their home is left just as I found it. I also provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

Barnsley cat owners share their Rover experiences
Billie-Ann looked after my cat, Bobsi, for a week, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. She visited our home every day to care for her, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about Bobsi's wellbeing. Bobsi took to Billie-Ann straight away and clearly enjoyed her company. Throughout the week, she was happy, relaxed, and content during Billie-Ann's visits. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that Bobsi was receiving such attentive and loving care while I was away. Billie-Ann was reliable, caring, and communicative throughout. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Billie-Ann, for taking such wonderful care of Bobsi!

Fantastic service from Ally! I have never left my cats home alone before but didn't want to put them in a cattery. Ally was great from day one, offering a meet and greet before the booking was made, it really put me at ease that I was leaving not just the pets but our home in safe hands. We got a lovely update each day with lots of photos meaning we could relax and enjoy our time away. Wouldn't hesitate to use Ally again or recommend her to others.
