Nicole was amazing! She came round before the booking to meet out cats and they immediately warmed to her. Nicole, sent lots of pictures of our cats getting all the cuddles and affection they could ever want and they were super happy to have her looking after them! Nicole was also very informative and had great communication letting us know our cats were safe and well looked after. We would definitely book with Nicole again!

About: I have always been a huge animal lover and I adore looking after furry friends. I have recently moved to Bristol after living most of my life in Edinburgh. I fully work from home so I will always be around to look after your pet and keep them company. I have had experience looking after different types of dogs which range in sizes and activity level. This includes a borador and ex-racing greyhound. I also have experience looking after cats for my extended family and have a huge soft spot for them. I am happy to look after your pet at your own home and I am planning to open boarding at my own home later down the line. I can follow any routine you may have with your pet and accommodate any special needs they may require. I am also very happy to send regular updates with what they have been up to and include photos to lessen any worry you may have. I currently work from home so will always be available to look after, keep company and play with your pet. I am also able to go on longer adventures on Friday, Saturday and Sundays as I do not work on these days. I typically take dogs for a minimum of 3 walks a day (however I will be happy to adjust this either way to suit your pet). I will stick to your pets usual routine to help them feel as comfortable and normal as possible while their favorite human(s) are away.

Erin has been a great help keeping Deefa company while we’ve both been away from home. She’s kept us up to date with her schedule, sent us gorgeous pics on their walks, and Deefa looks very happy to be out and about with her new pal! Wouldn’t hesitate to ask for Erin’s help again.

About: My experience dates back to when I was 7 years old and my family got our dog, Paddy, and I've loved dogs ever since. I've been unable to get my own dog due to living in shared housing and work hours, so I have dog sat for friends over the years and like to think I have become a go to person! I have experience with small sausage dogs right up to large short haired pointers, and all sizes in between. I take seriously, the owners wishes of how they want their dogs to be treated, never derailing any training, and love showing dogs affection when it's wanted (though I would never push if they aren't a fan!). I like to think that I am a person that you can trust to take care of your dog and would only want you to feel confident that they are in safe hands whilst you are away. I'm available for boarding on the weekends and would make sure my weekend is clear to be fully focused on your dog. I live in a flat, but I have direct access to an outside patio/garden that is secure with a locked gate and high walls. I also live a stones throw from Victoria Park, or, can take your dog down North Street towards Greville Smyth Park. I'm happy for dogs to be on the furniture and, if anything, relish a chance to cuddle up and relax together! In terms of any mid week walks/check ins for dogs, my work days are flexible so I can fit round your needs. I work in central Bristol so can take them through Castle park to get a good walk in. I live in a flat but I have access to a garden which is fully secure with a gate and high walls. In terms of sitting in an owners home, I would be happy to work with whatever they feel comfortable with in terms of security for their dog and the home itself.

Kady was absolutely superb! We could not have found a better sitter for little Hettie (who is a rather scared rescue cat, but a sweet girl). Kadie communicated superbly throughout. She is both charming and competent and followed Hettie’s regime perfectly. She sent msg and photo twice a day. We were so lucky- I cannot recommend Kadie highly enough

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and caring dog lover with over six years of hands-on experience looking after pups of all ages—from playful two-month-old puppies to sweet senior dogs over ten. I’ve cared for many breeds, both big and small, including Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds, Westies, Bichons, Fox Terriers, and Shibas. Each dog has their own personality, and I always take time to understand their needs, routines, and quirks. I believe walks should be fun and engaging, not just the same old route every day. That’s why, whenever I have time, I love taking dogs on mini adventures—hiking in Red Deer Park, exploring Snuff Mills, playing in the river, or spotting deer and flowers in Clifton. Their happiness is my biggest reward, and I love seeing them explore the world with joy and curiosity. I’m incredibly patient, calm, and gentle, and I treat every dog like my own. I currently live in a spacious, pet-friendly 1b1b apartment with plenty of room for dogs to relax, even larger breeds. Whether your pup loves cuddles, quiet time, or outdoor fun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I'm currently a PhD student, but I work from home most of the time, so my schedule is quite flexible. That means I can spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day I live in a pet-friendly 1b1b apartment that’s clean, spacious, and comfortable—even for large dogs. It’s a quiet environment, which is great for pets who are sensitive or prefer calm spaces. I keep the floors clean and disinfect regularly. If I’m hosting a cat, there’s a 2.2-meter-tall cat tree at home that’s always a favorite. I follow each pet’s usual feeding habits and routines carefully, so they can feel safe, relaxed, and loved during their stay.

About: I’ve grown up fully immersed in the presence of animals and I have always taken on roles in their care. I have a dog called Nala at home and I love nothing more than spending time with her whether that be playing with her toys, going out for walks or simply cuddling on the sofa. I also have cats at home who likewise enjoy their playtime but also fusses on my knee. I’ve had work experience placement at a veterinary clinic so I’m also aware of aspects of care such as senior care and proper handling techniques. Although I am a veterinary nursing student at university I have days where I don’t have in person classes therefore making me available throughout the day and some days I’m home by 12pm, as well as having my weekends spare. I am very vigilant when it comes to pet safety especially with having grown up in a home with indoor cats, therefore I will take any safety measures you have in place very seriously. Due to my vet nursing course I have done placement at veterinary clinics therefore I’m aware of safe and proper handling techniques as well as signs to be aware of in other dogs when out on walks.

About: I have been active on Rover for 1 years at for Borrow my doggy prior to that for 8+ years so have had a lot of experience sitting, walking and boarding! I also grew up with dogs and have always been told I have very special bonds with them! I am a part time student (3 days a week 10-1:30) and study very local to my flat so am very flexible when it comes to walking your pooches! I can be available in the mornings, afternoon and evenings :) I am also on Easter break so have even more availability! I have the upmost love for dogs and will ensure their safety at all times, show them lots of love and attention and take them on many walks as I live by lots of lovely parks :) If I were in your home I’d follow any guidance or routine given to me and would do the same as I would in my home in regards to love attention and play! I live and study in Raleigh road so am flexible with days and times, I study Mondays and Tuesdays 10-5, other than that I am free before :) I am devoted to dogs and am readily available to care feed and walk the lil beans! I’ve had experience with all dog ages and can look after all different dogs! However, preferably I’d sit a dog who is able to cope being away from their owners (I understand your doggo will miss you and in their own home it’ll be easier but a stressed dog is not nice to see) therefore guidelines, tips and any current behaviours and potential behaviours that could be exhibited. If you have had sitters before it would be helpful to gain an insight into what your dog is like when you’re not there as it always varies and I want to make sure they feel and know they are safe with me :)

We were really happy with how Pamela looked after our cat. He was hiding after spooking himself by knocking over some folding chairs when Pamela arrived to care for him, but we communicated and she persisted in seeking him out and comforting him. He enjoyed lots of attention everyday and we came back to a happy cat.

I have been booking Carly consistently to look after our elderly cat for the last few years and thought I’d leave another more up to date review. Our cat is 18 1/2 and we have had many cat sitters over the years, but I can honestly say Carly is simply the best catsitter we have ever had. She truly cares for our cat and spends quality time with her, has formed a real bond which is not easy with our rather fussy little missus (altho Elvis is very loving with us she is very wary of others) and we now try and book hol once we know she is available not the other way around! We would be feeling so stressed without her as we have to be away quite a lot at the moment-she is just an amazing catsitter! Thank you so much Carly!
