“Caitlin was great and very responsive while taking care of my cats when I was away for 5 days. She sent photos for every visit and kept me updated on how they were doing. Would highly recommend and will be booking with her again!”


“Heidi was an amazing cat sitter for my two cats, Maple and Marley! We did a meet and greet before-hand and I could tell she genuinely loves animals and knew she would take great care of them. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I highly recommend Heidi for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. This was a great first experience using Rover and I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you Heidi ☺️”


“My partner and I could not recommend Alice enough! Alice took care of our two cats for 6 days over the Christmas period. We cannot thank her enough for her care and attention to detail. She sent detailed daily updates and pictures which made us feel at ease throughout the process. Our two cats loved Alice’s company, her care and entertainment. We would love Alice to take care of our cats again in the future. 😊”


“Olya was great, she helped me out really last minute after another cat sitter cancelled & she took amazing care of my cat. She was so nice & flexible & took a real interest in making sure Cobweb (my cat) had everything she needed. She spent time with her at each visit and played with her and provided her with such much needed entertainment. And of course I loved the photos and video updates so I could see she was okay and happy whilst I was away. So grateful to Olya and will definitely be booking Olya again!”


“Paige was fantastic and made the whole experience a breeze. We felt very comfortable trusting her with our cat and house for the night and she kept us regularly updated with messages and cute pics, and Honey has made a new best friend! We highly recommend Paige”


About: Consistently had dogs and cats in my life through family dogs, as well as friends who often trust me with their precious paws. I used to be a dog groomer too, for four years. Monday & Tuesdays are free all day. During the week only evenings are free including Friday. Weekends are free with advance notice of booking from yourself, if booking it out with one day drop me a message and I will see if I can accommodate 😃 I have a large fenced garden, and a grass area available. If at your home I will be on hand and happy to adhere to your schedule/care routine.

“Leeanne is kind and reliable and I have lost count the amount of times we have re-booked her to look after our two little fur babies! She is easy to contact, communicates well and always highly recommend her service!”


“Caitlin did an amazing job looking after my cat! The photos she sent were excellent, and I could see Tom was having fun during her visits. It was reassuring to know he was in good hands. Communication was clear throughout the entire process. Will definitely rebook. Highly recommend!" 👍🐱📸”


About: 🐶 I've grown up around dogs my whole life! From my own pets, to dog sitting for friends and neighbors, and finally working at my dream doggy daycare job for 2 years, I've loads of animal care experience! ✅ Experience with both puppies and senior dogs. Experience administering meds orally and topically. Experience with specialized diets. Experience walking, in home pet-sitting, and play relief. 😁 I'm a part time student at Queen's Uni studying poetry! I live in the city centre and have plenty of weekday and weekend availability. I'd be happy to schedule a meet & greet to make you and your pup more comfortable before booking any services! 📚 I'm a part time student at Queen's University so I only have classes midday Monday-Wednesday. I have availability on those days outside of class, and an open schedule Thursday-Sunday. I can do walks and pet owner's house sits at any point throughout the week as well as drop in visits if necessary! 🏠 Unfortunately, I cannot have pets in my student living accommodation, but I have tons of experience house sitting within the pet owner's home. I find that dog's tend to be more comfortable in their own environment, and I am more than happy to provide relief walks and adhere to any specific feeding schedule/restrictions as well as administer medication.

“Aoife is a star. Her communication is excellent and this made me confident to book her to drop in on my dog for the first time yesterday. She did a great job, put me at ease and sent me lovely updates. I'm booking Aoife now on a more regular basis as result.”


“I cannot recommend Naomi enough! As an indoor cat owner, the anxiety that comes with thinking no one else can protect them they way you believe you can, trust me Naomi can do it for you. She kindly picked Willow up when I was rushing the night before my trip which was an incredibly kind gesture! I had received so many updates which was a massive relief! I will be using Naomi going forward every single time!”


About: Hi! I’m currently a student living away from home so I’m in desperate need of some puppy love. I have experience training my own two dogs how to do basic commands such as sit, shake, and lay down. As well as experience with gentle giants as I grew up with a leonberger. And don’t threat, I am no stranger to a walk, play session or cuddle break. Out of term time I am available most hours. During term time I will be available usually after 4pm depending on my timetable. And I am available during all weekend hours as well. When caring for your pets I will make sure they are being monitored at all times. It is important to me I treat your properties with respect and am happy to abide by any additional instructions with regards to your home you may wish to provide me with. As far as the pets, I think it is important i creat a safe and calming environment to reduce the stress of you being away and will make sure I do my best to keep them occupied.

“Yulei is a lovely girl who took care of Atlas for nearly a week. It was our first time to leave our cat behind and Yulei eased our worries. She sent us photos of Altas daily and updated us on how our pet is doing. Yulei fed Atlas as instructed as well as cleaning the litter box. We’ll definitely get her services again when we go on our holiday. Highly recommended! Thank you Yulei!”


About: I have had dogs in my home since I was born, of all shapes and sizes, and naturally as you get okder you are relied on more to help out with walking them, feeding them, giving them medication, grooming them and usual dog owner responsibilities. In recent years I have looked after a number of family friends animals, mainly being dogs. I am currently in University and I have plenty of time in the day and am very flexible to carry out any services that are needed throughout the week. I do not offer services that will have your fur baby in my home. I live with two small shih tzus and that is their home. However, the care I provide your animals will be dependent on what you prefer and want me to do.

About: Hey my name is Josh. Me and my Partner are based in Belfast. We both have a massive love for dogs. We’ve looked after dogs since we both were children. We are our family and friend’s main dog minders for holidays. We’re both dog obsessed and love having them around. We promise to keep owners informed with regular pupdates, photos, and video. We live a 5 minute walk from a park which we regularly use for our dog walks and have various other areas we take them. We’re big advocates for using Wild River Dog park regularly for a safe space for all dogs. We will provide exercise and playtime tailored to each pet's energy level and needs and to help create a calm and soothing environment for anxious or stressed pets All bookings will be confirmed after a successful meet and greet between pets I currently work from home full time. I’ve full flexibility for attending your dogs needs for exercises and activities. I normally do 2-3 walks per day. Currently have a one year old Cocker Spaniel to keep your fur baby company. I have a fenced back and small front garden. I have 2 parks near us where we walk our dog. I also have regular visits to Wild River Dog and Stormont

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For the past two years, I've looked after a puppy named Kylo whenever her family goes on holiday. That experience has deepened my love for animals and inspired me to help more pet owners who need someone they can trust. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs—not just for the exercise, but because seeing how much joy they get from it is incredibly rewarding. I am currently working part time in a restaurant at the weekend in the evening, and I have also just finished my degree in fine art so I have a lot of spare time during the week and mornings for walks. I live in accommodation in the heart of Belfast city centre, which makes it easy for me to reach clients quickly and reliably. While I’m unable to offer pet sitting at home, I focus fully on dog walking and make sure each walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs and love giving them the exercise and attention they deserve.

About: I love animals, and volunteered with the shelter Almost Home. On an average shift I was feeding/cleaning up after/playing with/giving medications to a few dozen dogs of all breeds - from tiny chihuahuas to giant mastiffs. Working in rescue I have plenty of experience with nervous dogs and have a pretty good track record of making them feel more at ease with a bit of time (and chicken!) I'm a student but from mid May, my schedule is pretty flexible until September and I can walk/play/feed etc whenever necessary, so house sitting and drops ins is ideal for me. I cannot have pets in my accommodation as I rent, but am happy to care for your pet in your home however you normally would so their routine is kept as normal as possible. If you would like updates, I'm happy to send as many as you would like for peace of mind and photos of what they're getting up to.

Halli C.
“Halli is the ONLY person I would trust to watch or walk my dogs. Not only is she a trained professional with experience in the pet care industry, but her pure love for animals shines through and always leaves me feeling at ease when she watches my dogs. She has such a unique ability to connect with pups and always leaves the little guys tuckered out. Could not recommend anyone else besides Halli for your pet care needs.”

Charlotte A.
“I know Charlotte as a caring and sensible individual who cares for deeply for all animals. She knows every pet in the neighbourhood and always stops to say 'hello' and make a fuss of them. Charlotte has always been reliable, walking, feeding, pampering and occupying our two fur babies when we're not around. She was great when caring for our little one who had a burst cyst by cleaning it when it became a little oozy, applying antiseptic and his dressing. She even keeps the doggies company while they eat, to be sure neither goes hungry. She knows their little tricks and keeps up with their training too! I would gladly recommend Charlotte for pet sitting and walking services.”


Yulei W.

“Yulei is a lovely girl who took care of Atlas for nearly a week. It was our first time to leave our cat behind and Yulei eased our worries. She sent us photos of Altas daily and updated us on how our pet is doing. Yulei fed Atlas as instructed as well as cleaning the litter box. We’ll definitely get her services again when we go on our holiday. Highly recommended! Thank you Yulei!”


Aimee S.
“Hi there I run a pet shelter in Bulawayo, Zimababwe. Aimee often volunteers at the shelter when she is here visiting family and she is an amazing help when we do our outdoor walks. She really gets the dogs stimulated and shows a deep sense of care for them on the walks making sure to avoid any dangerous situations that may arise. She is amazing and I would highly recommend her to any animal care organization”


Joshua R.
“Joshua is fantastic. His kind nature really shows in how he looks after and interacts with pets when in his care. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Very friendly and quality service.”


Madison H.
“Madison is not only a reliable, caring and trustworthy friend but also the best pet sitter I’ve had yet! Madison looked after my beagle, Poppy, for a weekend. Poppy is an old dog with additional needs (medication, very specific food needs, etc) and Madison met those needs perfectly. Poppy is wary of new people and can take time to warm up to them but felt comfortable and safe with Madison as soon as they met. I would recommend Madison to anyone and would feel more than happy to leave Poppy in her care again.”


Poppi D.
“My fiancé and I took a trip to Cavan over summer and Poppi helped look after our two cats and our house while we were gone. As we had only recently gotten the cats a few months prior, we wanted someone we knew we could trust to help look after them and Poppi was brilliant. We did have some requirements that needed followed when looking after the cats, which Poppi stuck to, and she also ensured to send us photos and updated of how the cats were doing too. I would highly recommend Poppi for anyone needing a pet sitter!”
