“Socks seemed to have a wonderful time with Sonya! I am so happy with the way that they bonded. He has a new forever friend. Thank you Sonya for respecting our home and being so lovely with our little kitty”

“Savanna was great, helped me out last minute and took such great care of my cat while I was away, took the time to feed, fuss and play with him. Great communication, regular updates and always a picture or two to show me what he was up to. Would definitely book again!”

About: I've always had pets growing up but only been fully responsible for one. I've done pet sitting and house sitting for friends and family before. I work school hours, so I'm available during evenings, weekends and school holidays for plenty of pet cuddles! As I don't currently have a pet of my own, I'd love the opportunity to spend time getting to know and caring for yours. I know every pet is different, with their own personality, routine and little quirks, so I always take the time to get to know them and follow their owner's instructions carefully. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you're away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, sticking to feeding routines or simply keeping them company, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Klaudia was fantastic! She took great care of my two kitties while we were on holiday, sending me messages and pictures to let me know they were doing well. I felt very comfortable that they were in safe hands, and I will definitely be asking Klaudia to watch them again!”

About: !!Currently offering 15 mins extra with each 30 minute dog walk!! We lost our beautiful cane corso/boxer November 2024 and since then, we have been enjoying the company of your fur baby’s! We specialise with reactive and nervous dogs and understand the challenges of walking a dog who finds it difficult around other dogs/animals/people. We have experience in dog boarding but we’re full time van lifers now so only offer house sitting, drop in visits and walks! With our walks - if you book a 30 minute walk you’ll receive 15 minutes free! If you are on the fence about any of our services please feel free to drop us a message first and we’ll be happy to chat it through - we know it’s a big decision trusting someone else with your pet 😌 We’ve taken care of dogs for most of our lives but the last five years especially. We had our own rescue boxer/cane corso who crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2024 so want to bring our flat the company it’s missing by looking after your fur baby. Emily used to be a dog walker in the pandemic so she have experience with many breeds and specialises in reactive/nervous/high prey drive animals. We have my availability set to have 2 dogs at a time meaning your dog might be staying with another dog too. But if your dog is reactive or nervous let me know before booking so I can make sure your dog will be the only dog staying with us as. We know what it’s like to have a nervous dog and we would prefer to help make you and them comfortable by giving them the 1:1 attention they deserve to feel at peace while you’re away so please message me and il be happy to organise this. Leigh works from home and Emily only works 6 hour days during term time and off all bank and school holidays so there will always be someone around to look after your pet.

About: As a self-employed personal trainer and online fitness coach, I have a flexible schedule and lead an active lifestyle, so I'm able to give dogs plenty of time, attention and exercise throughout the day. I've grown up surrounded by dogs and have lots of family dogs, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. My mum is also a professional dog walker and pet sitter, so I've seen first-hand the level of care, responsibility and attention that goes into looking after other people's pets. It's given me a great understanding of how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe and settled while their owners are away. I've also looked after dogs for family and friends, whether that's taking them for walks, keeping them company or caring for them in their own home. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I'll always tailor my care to suit their individual needs. I'm reliable, organised and respectful of both your home and your dog's routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe hands. I'm happy caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels and will always follow any feeding instructions, medication schedules and walking routines provided. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved and well cared for from the moment we meet. As a self-employed personal trainer and online fitness coach, I have a flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. My days are a mix of working with clients, creating online coaching plans and training myself, but I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-in visits and caring for pets in their own home. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine. I’m am flexible with my availability for visits depending on your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to discuss their usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet and home are in safe hands. When caring for pets in their own home, I will always respect their environment, routines and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. Before any booking, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, usual routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any specific requirements so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m a reliable, organised and tidy person, and I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s safety as my priority and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Guoda is amazing! She always treats Mochi with love and patience and I wouldn't trust him with anyone else. If you are looking for someone to look after your fur baby than look no further. I can't recommend Guoda highly enough.”

About: I have a little 9+ year old pug myself so have first hand experience with dogs. I’ve had other dogs in the past so experience handling multiple dogs at one time if needed. I work Mon-Fri, however have the flexibility to work from home several days a week so pet care can be provided during the day with notice. Fully available on evenings and weekends. I would prefer to pet sit at pet owners house. My garden is not fully secure. Caring for pets looks like providing walks, taking time to play/cuddle and generally being around to ensure the pets welfare.

“My cat is very anxious so it was very reassuring to have a quiet, calm person such as Maria looking after her. This is our first time using a sitter/drop in and I'm very keen to have Maria back again later in the New Year. It was lovely to get all the feedback and photos from her too. Very reassuring when you are a long way from home. Thanks Maria.”

“Sarah was brilliant. Clear communication throughout, lots of photos and she even managed to get my grumpy cat to sit on her lap - she is definitely a cat expert! I would happily ask her to look after Kiwi again.”

Sarah G.

“Amy dropped in to see our cat Mitsy and spend a little time with her whilst we were away. Amy is very conscientious, sent us updates and photos which is reassuring and lovely to see. We've already booked her in for our next holiday. Thanks Amy :)”

About: Ever since I was born we have had dogs as pets in the family home. I am therefore very much used to looking after dogs and meeting all their requirements. I love taking dogs for long walks, playing with them and having cuddles! I also have a number of years of experience of house sitting which has involved looking after three gorgeous dogs of varying shapes, sizes and ages! I feel comfortable and competent looking after animals and you can trust me to love and care for your pet! I am a doctor currently working in Poole hospital. I have most weekends off and the occasional weekday free. I love looking after people’s pets but will only commit to this on a day when I am off and able to give the animal the full care and attention they need! I live very close to local parks and the beach so have easy access to lots of green space for them to run around in. There are no other pets or children in the house.

“Thanks Diana. I know you were there 9.50 - 10.30 so thank you! Like me, you're getting to grips with how the Rover App works as I know I'm your first customer. Importantly, you followed all my instructions and clearly, Millie had a lovely walk and cuddles!”

“Our cat was very content around Roxana who visited him for a week while we were on holiday. She sent videos every day which was invaluable in allowing us to relax in the knowledge that our friend was in good hands. We won’t hesitate to pick her again if she’s available. Top class”
