“Natalie & her partner, Sarah, stepped in to care for Beau last minute when another Rover sitter fell through. Between the 2 of them, they cared for Beau in our home, leaving him only for short periods. We got plenty of updates, and we came home to a happy dog & a spotless home. We couldn’t have asked for more. Beau highly recommends them to any clingy doggo in need 🥰❤️”
“Chanice was amazing, so friendly and kind. She clearly loves animals and treated our pup so well. She provided lots of updates and photos. We would definitely book her again. Thanks!”
“Kyra is an excellent pet sitter. She kept me updated routinely on my pets and I definitely felt like they were in good hands. When I returned home my place was clean and in good condition and my dog and 2 cats seemed relaxed and happy. I would definitely schedule her for petsitting in the future.”
“We were very happy with the service Caitlin provided, we needed something quite last minute and she was very accommodating, the house was left really clean and tidy and the cats were happy! They are usually quite shy with people but they seemed content, will definitely be booking her again, thanks Caitlin!”
About: I grew up on a farm in the countryside, so I’ve been around animals my whole life and am very comfortable caring for pets of all kinds ❤️ Through my experience on Rover, I’ve looked after both dogs and cats with a range of needs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I work from home most days, so your pet will have company, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m also available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to fit around your pet’s routine 😊 I provide safe and loving care for pets, either in their own home or on walks around the neighborhood. Being home most days means your pet will always have supervision, attention, and companionship. I also have a secure, fully fenced outdoor patio for safe potty breaks and fresh air time, so every pet is happy, safe, and comfortable. 🐾
About: I am from China originally and has been in the UK for 5 years. I am an illustrator. I work from home so I have flexible working hours. I used to have many pets including 3 hamsters, 3 rabbits and 1 fancy mouse. I really adore cats and dogs and would love to spend time taking care of them.
“I highly recommend Caitlin. Incredibly kind, professional, and asked many questions to ensure my dog and cat were well taken care of. She also sent regular updates with photos. Our pets loved her and we came back to a tidy home. Definitely someone you can trust”
“Paige looked after Missy for 8 nights (house / dog sitting). She gave us so much confidence from the first meeting, and communicated brilliantly while we were away. It was really clear that she had listened really carefully to details about Missy's medication and health conditions. There were plenty of photos and daily summaries of what she had been up to with Missy, and it was clear even from the photos that Missy was absolutely loving life. The only problem we had was when we came home. Missy seemed a bit disappointed that her new best friend wasn't staying :-).”
“Shannon was absolutely fantastic! She looked after Patrick in our home on the day after our wedding and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. She kept us updated and gave him plenty of walks which he was delighted about. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house, so very happy 😊”
“I cannot praise Aimee enough! She was wonderful with my nervous boy, she came to meet him before her stay & he was so happy to see her again! Bert is looking forward to having her stay in the summer”

About: I am 39 year old lady who is an avid cat lover based in the BT9 area. My friends would often describe me as 'the crazy cat lady' who has more cat friends than human friends. I grew up with cats and I found their company exhilarating and therapeutic at the same time. I adore cats and get along with all breeds of cats. My neighbours can verify that. Over the years, I have looked after a pregnant mummy cat and her kittens and an elderly cat.
“Our Teddy absolutely loved Sharon! It’s not often he will take to strangers as he’s a particularly shy and nervous pup. Sharon was fantastic, very professional and has a clear love of animals, she even researched the breed before meeting him! She sent us plenty of updates and pictures of his antics. Will definitely be booking with Sharon again any time we need a doggo sitter!”
“Couldn’t recommend Joshua enough! My boys were very well looked after and had a great time! The photos and videos he sent made that very apparent ☺️ one of my dogs can be strange with men but after a walk they were instant friends! Will most definitely be booking with them again ☺️ thank you again! Especially from Chase and Enzo!!”
About: Hi, I'm Alice! I work in pet care full time and spend my days walking dogs and caring for pets across Belfast. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality, routines, and little quirks. I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and over 20 years of experience caring for cats. My work involves daily dog walks, drop in visits, feeding, litter care, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I am currently studying the Canine Training Instructor Course with the Professional Association of Canine Trainers (PACT) and working towards Animal Training Instructor (ATI) accreditation. This course focuses on canine behaviour, communication and science based positive training methods. It helps me better understand how dogs think, how they communicate, and how to keep them feeling safe and confident during walks and visits. A typical walk or visit with me includes plenty of time for sniffing and exploring, positive interaction, and careful attention to your pet’s comfort and safety. I also send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is getting on while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for: • puppies • senior dogs • energetic breeds • nervous or shy pets • multi pet households • cats and small animals I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I always take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel safe, exercised and well cared for. I’m always happy to arrange a meet and greet before bookings so you and your pet can feel completely comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is my full time work, so I’m usually able to offer a flexible schedule to help when owners need it. Between my regular clients and occasional bookings I always do my best to accommodate visits where I can. I’m typically available from 8:30am onwards, but feel free to reach out if you have something specific in mind and I’ll always try my best to help. When caring for your pet in your home, I aim to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel relaxed and comfortable while you’re away. I always take the time to understand your pet’s habits, preferences and any instructions you’d like followed. During visits I make sure food, water and any other daily needs are taken care of, along with plenty of attention and interaction so your pet still gets company and stimulation. I’m always mindful and respectful of your home and make sure everything is left tidy and secure before I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they’re getting on during each visit.

We cant thank Niall and Henrique enough for taking such good care of our miniature schnauzers Winston and Zach. We were so nervous leaving them as they have never stayed with anyone but family before and we know they can be very barky!! Lol From the initial meet and greet we knew the boys would be very well cared for and loved like their own. Winston and Zach even pulled on the lead to get into their house as we dropped them off! Niall and Henrique were very responsive, sent regular updates and photos/videos and the boys looked like they were having the time of their lives. We cant recommend these guys enough and we will definitely be using them again in the future. Thank yous so much!
We were very happy with the service Caitlin provided, we needed something quite last minute and she was very accommodating, the house was left really clean and tidy and the cats were happy! They are usually quite shy with people but they seemed content, will definitely be booking her again, thanks Caitlin!
Caitlin is the most attentive and considerate cat sitter we could have asked for. Not only did she charm our shy cat in a blink, she also sent regular updates with photos and details about our wee man. I highly recommend Caitlin and we will most definitely ask her to mind Dillin again!
Paige took excellent care of our dogs Charlie and Pippa in our home for a week. She was quick to respond to our initial messages, did a meet and greet with us and instantly filled us with confidence that the dogs would be very well looked after. She kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. She also kept our home tidy. Would 100% recommend to others. Thank you so much Paige.
Sharon took great care of my cat and dog in my home while I was away for the night. She provided plenty of updates and was very communicative. Sharon is clearly an animal lover and both my dog and cat were very relaxed in her company. I would definitely recommend Sharon to anyone who needs to have in-home care for their pets
Emily really saved the day by accepting my booking last minute. She house sat for 4 days and my house was left in a better condition than when I left. My dog Fergie seemed happy and healthy when I got back which is all I can ask! I also got updates while I was in my trip. I can’t recommend Emily enough and will definitely be using her services again
Shannon was absolutely fantastic! She looked after Patrick in our home on the day after our wedding and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. She kept us updated and gave him plenty of walks which he was delighted about. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house, so very happy 😊
Caitlin has dog sat for me at least 8 times (including before she was on Rover). My dog absolutely loves her and is always very well looked after. Caitlin does his training exercises with him, walks him, feeds him and keeps him well entertained. My dog is always super excited to see her which makes leaving him very easy. Caitlin always sends updates of what they are getting up to throughout the day and there has never been any issues. Caitlin dog sits at my house and has always looked after the place very well. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone/ any dog!
Chloe is a fantastic dog minder! She cared for my senior dog, Boris, for 9 days and made my holiday completely stress-free. She kept me updated throughout and looked after him with so much care. Boris came back looking happy and content. I’d highly recommend Chloe to anyone needing someone reliable to look after their dog. Thank you Chloe 🩷
We couldn’t recommend Molly more! She is an absolute breath of fresh air, so friendly, warm and welcoming. Bear loved her from the second she arrived! You can tell just how much Molly loves doggies and we knew he would be in the best hands and we weren’t wrong. He was so relaxed and well looked after! Molly we can’t thank you enough and we can’t wait use you in the future for our little bear xx
