“Ellen took great care of Bailey and was also kind enough to stay longer than scheduled as I experienced delays in returning home- due to travel disruption. I can’t thank her enough and I’ll be booking her again.”
“Alex was perfect. Really friendly and accommodating with planning, very easy to talk to. She's obviously a real animal lover, Omelette is a bit of an awkward dog at the best of times but made fast friends with him and understood and dealt excellently with his reactivity issues. We got regular photos and updates and could see he was having a great time. On top of that Alex left the house completely spotless and put the wash on before she left which made a much softer landing for us coming back from holiday. I couldn't recommend Alex enough.”
“Ellie looked after our two dogs really well whilst we were away for the weekend. She sent us lots of updates and was very communicative. One of our dogs is nervous and refused to go on a walk but Ellie was very nice to her and didn't force her. When we got back our house was super clean and Ellie had even made us cupcakes!”
About: A bit about me: Hi, my name is Julie and I’m a 31 year old gal from Scotland. I moved to Brighton in August and work as a pilot based at Gatwick. I’m fun, friendly and can honestly say I’m a dog whisperer 😂 I enjoy yoga, walks in the park, lying in the sun and binging Netflix while giving cuddles to a furry companion. I’m not a big drinker so any days/nights off I have I’m usually relaxing at home. My experience: From the age of 3 my family have had all sorts of pets from dogs to cats to rats to chickens. My first dog was a Collie/Lab who we all adored until he passed at the age of 13. We then adopted Jerry, our Labrador, who is the sweetest man and it breaks my heart how little I see him these days. Charlie was our Toy Poodle who was obsessed with me (he liked girls) and would follow me around the house begging to be picked up for cuddles. And then we have Cassie, our crazy little German Shepard/Alaskan Malamute, who is a bit wild but adorable and full of love. I also worked in a kennels when I was 15, feeding, walking and playing with the dogs, making sure they were all as happy as can be without their loved ones. I can honestly say I’m SO good with all animals and would give your little pupper the attention and care they needed (and I’m sure they would give me the attention I need!!) I've looked after several dogs on another platform but thought I'd give Rover a try. I had a 6 month old GS stay with me for 9 days (I felt like a single mother but was very sad saying goodbye at the end, we had grown very attached!). I started walking a Rottweiler/Doberman every Wednesday and occasionally house sitting and ended up becoming good friends with the owner ☺️ I also had a cute little terrier come stay for the weekend, an adorable 7 month old Jack Russell cross stayed with me for a week and a 7 year old Cockapoo stayed with me for about 5 days. All of which were spoiled rotten with attention while their families went on holiday. I’m currently between jobs so available all the time! If you need someone to look after your baby while you’re away I’m almost always happy to help! I’m more than happy to meet a few times before you leave your little guy or girl with me so you can get to know me a bit and make sure you and your dog feel comfortable with me! I live in a 3 bedroom flat close to Preston Park with two other lovely girls. It’s a large flat with plenty of space. When staying with me your pet would be fully involved in my life. I would take them for walks whenever they needed, cuddle with them on the sofa, and they can either be crated at night or can sleep on the end of my bed, I’m not fussy!
“Neve was amazing. I was so nervous leaving Scar for the first time as he is a very needy and playful cat who needs a lot of attention. Neve updated me regularly with lovely photos and messages about their day. Neve was originally booked in from 8:30 am but very kindly came at 6:30am as I was leaving for my trip early. I didn’t ask Neve to do this but I feel she knew how nervous I was and she came before I left for my trip which made me feel a whole lot better that scar had her there. She went above and beyond for scar and when I came back from my trip Scar was very happy and content. I can’t thank Neve enough.”
“Grace is a pleasant young woman who quickly built a good relationship with my GSP Baz. She arrived punctually, listened to all information I gave her about Baz and the house. I will book her in future”
“Anoushka was great! It was a relatively short notice booking but Anoushka was lovely about sorting out how best to get to know us and Skye and communicated very well. On the day Anoushka arrived on time, we had a lovely calm handover and she took on board all of Skye’s needs and ways. Both Skye and Anoushka got on amazingly well and we came home to a happy pooch. We had some lovely updates and pictures throughout the day, which was nice and reassuring. Anoushka also respected our house and left everything clean and tidy. We would have no concerns having Anoushka back again.”
“Balbina is a wonderful sitter! Our dog can be quite reserved with new people, but she warmed to Balbina straight away and was obviously very relaxed with her. We’ll definitely ask Balbina to sit for us again. Thank you!”
About: I've always had pets since I was a kid and animals have a special place in my heart. They're family to me and after having experienced living both with cats and dogs, I know the difference they make in our lives. Hence, I want you to know that I'll definitely try to become the best friend to your furry one! I'm currently switching jobs at the minute, so my schedule is pretty flexible. This is all while UKVI decides to sort out my visa to stay in the UK, unfortunately, I can't do most jobs while I wait on a decision, so, yeah, I'm free all day! I currently have a cat living with me, so I wouldn't be able to sit any pets at my home, but my cat is looked after simply by doing the basics - making sure he's got plenty of food, water, litter box empty and I play with him so he can burn out the energy. When it comes to dogs tho, I'm happy to take them over for short, medium or long walks depending on the mood of the dog and time of day, always making sure they get a treat on the way back. :)
“Kei was AMAZING with our little ones. He stayed at our home while we traveled abroad for a couple weeks. At the begining of his stay, one of our dogs was super nervous of him, but he went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. So much so that she was glued to him the rest of his stay. He was super attentive to all of their needs, and sent us photos and updates frequently, which made us feel super reassured that they were okay. If you want someone who is reliable, patient, and great with dogs, Kei is your guy!”
“I would definitely recommend Johanna! She was absolutely amazing with my nervous rescue dog, Winter. She gave him all the space and time he needed to feel comfortable and sent me an update later in the day after their walk. Johanna was on time and very respectful of Winter’s needs. I will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much 🥰”
About: The biggest lover of dogs, professional cuddler and experienced with lots of breeds and ages! Whether your doggo has endless energy and needs huge walks and 4 hours of tug of war, or your elderly pup needs some gentle cuddles and a slow walk around the block, I’m there! Previous experience in looking after small and large breeds, shy and aggressive dogs, puppies and older dogs needing medication. I always customise my walks or stays based on what your dog likes best - whether that’s favourite walk routes, daily routines or how they like their treats served, every dog is different and I’m happy to adapt to their needs! I work mostly from home (3 days a week, on flexible days), and balance my work schedule around your dog walk and dog sitting needs. I’m also available weekends and evenings! I follow your guidance on how best to care for your pooch. As much information as you can give me beforehand helps to ensure minimal disruption for your dog, so we can stick as close as possible to their favourite routines!
“Emma was really great. Responsive, punctual, flexible, professional. But best of all, my puppy Rio was so happy and relaxed when I got back. I have no hesitation in recommending her and have already booked again.”
“Annabel and Jordan were great kitty sitters and kept me updated about the cats with cute pictures. They were also very flexible and made sure the cats had food and care on my departure and arrival days. I would definitely recommend Annabel and Jordan!”
“Oliwia was wonderful looking after Frida! My gal isn’t very easy going, but I had great updates all weekend and came home to a very chill and happy dog! Oliwia left my flat so clean and tidy 💓”
About: I grew up with cats and now have two of my own. I consistently looked after neighbours cats growing up and now would like to earn some extra money by doing something I love doing, spending time with and looking after cats! My own cat Marie was a stray that kept coming into my then flat, it turned out she was pregnant and soon after gave birth to 8 tiny kittens! Me and my partner decided to keep her and one of the kittens and helped look after the rest of newborns until they were rehomed through a reputable rescue. Growing up, I also had a few cats with health issues so needless to say I don't shy away from these things! I understand as a cat owner myself how scary it must be to leave your animals with someone and can guarantee that they will be in good hands with me. I am happy to give as many text updated/send lots pictures when you are away. :)) I work remotely at the moment so am able to go over in the mornings, lunch time and evenings if needed. Can also work from your home if you are open to that and give the animals company, love and play time! I live in a flat with two cats so am more keen to go over to others houses to look after pets rather than hosting at this current moment.
“Phillip was absolutely amazing with Minnie and Rolo. Minnie was unwell and we were very anxious about leaving her, but Phillip was fantastic for giving us regular updates and making sure she got all of her medicines and everything she needed! And Rolo loved his walks out with Phillip! Phillip was also so clean and tidy and left everything as it was found! We definitely plan to have Phillip sit for us again and would recommend him to anyone!”
“I would highly recommend Andra. From the initial request, to the meet and greet, Andra was just awesome. She communicates well and also arrived on time. She was respectful of our house , great at following the guidance/instructions we left for her and most importantly built such a good relationship with Skye who had loads of fun with her. I will and have booked Andra again !”

Jennifer looked after our Tibetan Terrier Tara for two days, and we (that includes Tara-the-dog) would recommend her! Jennifer is friendly, reliable and flexible. She came by beforehand to meet us and to make sure she had all information she needed. She arrived punctually and communicated well, keeping us in the loop with small updates and photos. We felt at ease that Tara was well-looked-after and had a good time as well. Thank you Jennifer!
Neve was amazing. I was so nervous leaving Scar for the first time as he is a very needy and playful cat who needs a lot of attention. Neve updated me regularly with lovely photos and messages about their day. Neve was originally booked in from 8:30 am but very kindly came at 6:30am as I was leaving for my trip early. I didn’t ask Neve to do this but I feel she knew how nervous I was and she came before I left for my trip which made me feel a whole lot better that scar had her there. She went above and beyond for scar and when I came back from my trip Scar was very happy and content. I can’t thank Neve enough.
Really happy with Ellie! She took care of my kitten for 9 days, staying at mine. She was updating me every day with pictures and messages. She is kind, sweet girl and I will definitely get in touch again with her. Highly recommended. My kitten was happy with her.
Sophie is just brilliant! We have two dogs, one of whom is very sensitive and reactive. Because of this we haven’t left him to go on holiday for many years. Sophie looked after them both in our home with such care, love and professionalism. She sent us daily updates and gorgeous photos, so we felt 💯 reassured. She put our dogs needs first every time and genuinely looked after them with love and fun. They were very happy with her! She also left our house clean and tidy. Can’t thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone. We will definitely use her again if she’ll have us with our restrictive (but gorgeous!) doggies.
Laura was great. She kept me up to date on Mimi my cat whilst I was away. The place was so clean and tidy when I came back. Mimi is shy with new people but I don't think it took her too long to settle down with Laura. I was worried when I was away and would highly recommend Laura. I hope to be using her in the future
Jeanique sat in my home with Manu for 5 days whilst I was abroad. Manu was really happy in her company which is obviously any owners' paramount concern, but in addition to that Jeanique sent updates and photos which were reassuring. She also went above and beyond, staying a little longer so that Manu did not have too long by himself after we landed, which I really appreciated . Finally, I returned to my home in the spotless condition I'd left it in. I would recommend Jeanique to anyone - friendly, conscientious, considerate and great with my dog. Thank you
Kei was the perfect dogsitter form start to finish! He responded immediately to our date request, arranged a meet and greet (which is always essential for us) and really took the time to get to know our doggies and home. He kept us updated whilst away with lovely photos and videos and the doggies had the best time with him. He is so friendly, thoughtful and intuitive with the dogs (and our home, which was spotless on our return). We can’t wait to use him again for our next sit! Would highly recommend him for anyone looking for the trustworthy reliable loving dogsitter. Thanks so much Kei 🙏
Alex was so fantastic with Peggy and made Peggy feel very at home and cared for! I received lots of updates which was lovely and I felt super comfortable that Peggy was being well loved. Alex was all the things you could wish for in a sitter, attentive, punctual, responsive, communicate and with a clear love for animals.
Balbina took amazing care of Diego, we couldn't be more grateful. We've had a bad experience with a sitter before so it's extremely important to us that he is with someone we can trust. Balbina was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was adjusted as needed for him. Thanks so much
Emma was amazing with Pablo! She met us beforehand and was very good at communicating. She was very aware of all the things that get him nervous and was very careful about the heat when taking him out. She looked after the house very well too, even watering the garden for us. She seems to have really connected with Pablo, which is what matters for us! Highly recommend!!
I would definitely recommend Johanna! She was absolutely amazing with my nervous rescue dog, Winter. She gave him all the space and time he needed to feel comfortable and sent me an update later in the day after their walk. Johanna was on time and very respectful of Winter’s needs. I will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much 🥰
