“We were incredibly pleased with Bhasuri's cat-sitting services. She did an excellent job during her drop-in visits, ensuring our cats were well cared for and content. It was clear when we returned home that they were happy and had been looked after with great attention. Bhasuri kept us updated throughout, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”


“Very happy to work around our schedule and seemed to have a nice time with Hazel.”


About: Dog lover who is happy to take care of all kinds of dog who love long walks and adventures. Experience with puppies and rescue dogs. I work full time 9-5 but I am available from 5 onwards and weekends. I have no other commitments that will prevent me from providing your pet with care. I have 3 horses at our property fenced in our field and two cats who love to roam free. Additional pets are not welcome within our property.

“Fantastic pet sitter, I am always at ease going away knowing that Victoria is looking after our bunnies. She captures some fantastic pictures of the buns and they always look so well looked after and happy. Could not recommend her enough, we will be using her as long as she’ll have us! 10/10 top pet sitter!”


“This was the first time I've used Lisa's services. She is usually joined by her partner in petsitting but because Talula is a timid cat and only used to one on one company I asked her to come alone. This she did, with good grace. Lisa managed to win over Talula, so much so, that she allowed herself to be brushed! Quite an achievement and it was lovely to come home to a well-groomed, contented cat :-). Lisa kept in touch with just the right amount of communications and some delightful photos. Everything I asked her to do she did so diligently. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa. Thank you.”


“Fantastic! Douglas loves Emily and the communication was excellent. Will definitely use again and highly recommend. Thank you!”


About: I'm a Registered Veterinary Nurse who grew up on a sheep farm in the Cotswolds. I've had dogs and cats all my life and can't imagine life without a pet. I've been an RVN for 5+ years and currently work in a referral hospital as a wards nurse. I'm CPR and first aid trained, and have plenty of experience with emergencies. I have two dogs (cocker spaniel and french bulldog) and two cats of my own, all of which I rescued from work over the years. I hand reared my french bulldog from 2 weeks old and she is now 4.5 years. I have always loved caring for animals and enjoy house sitting for my friends and family I'm currently working 4 days a week, and 1 in 8 weekends. I am looking at reducing to 3 days a week as would like more time for dog walking and pet sitting I have access to multiple enclosed fields for nice long walks, or there is plenty of woodland in the area. I will only let your dog off lead if requested. I'm flexible to meet the requirements of your pet (giving medications, feeding schedule, walking schedule etc.) and will offer endless cuddles

About: I’ve owned dogs, cats and horses but now (post career) simply love to take care of other peoples’ ‘pampered pets’ so it allows me the freedom to travel in between assignments. I retired from a 36 year corporate career job (a couple of leading global international private equity firms) on 6th December ‘22 and am now free 7 days a week to choose how I spend my time; I am already working as an independent Dog / House Sitter and offer Boarding in my home - a BESPOKE service (one on one) and have decided to expand my client base a little. On occasions I stay in the pet owner's home, currently I have one regular client who travels nine times per year. Dogs/pets receive a high level of care from me: health, wellness, nutrition, lots of exercise, relaxation (sheepskin rugs), good discipline but we have fun and play time - these things are important to me personally and pets deserve the best! I deal with all elements of animal care in a professional, health & safety oriented, caring manner and bring great life experience, common sense and a wide array of skills to the table. Everyone can be reassured their dog / pet is loved and safe with me in a calm and peaceful environment and I am an honorable and trusted person with a 36 year career in office and people management and mentoring behind me / project management / health & safety .

“For the first time using Rover, Adam has made this experience so wonderful. He has been kind, offering to go above and beyond, helpful, considerate and really helped me put my mind at ease with my first stay away from Bea - he has been a fantastic advertisement of this system and I will definitely use his services again! Thank you so much Adam!”


About: Dog pet care is an active and engaging experience, filled with the joys of companionship and the responsibilities of ensuring a happy and healthy life for your canine friend. It encompasses everything from daily walks and playtime to consistent training and providing a safe and comfortable home environment. Allow me to continue looking after your furry friend when you are away from home! I’m a full time nurse working out in the community. I work shifts so often have days off in the week frequently when pet owners are unable to be at home. Part of my job is to visit people’s home and provide care when they need it most. This is reflected in my pet care and sitting experience. Offering a trusting, kind and friendly environment for you and your furry companion!

“Thanks so much for taking such wonderful care of Toothless 🙏”


About: I've always been surrounded by all kinds of dogs & cats growing up. I'm always the first person to offer and dogsit for friends and family. Whether that's Gus (Cockerpoo) or Bobby (Cockerspaniel) or even Bainbo (Husky) - long walks or cuddles on the sofa, I will be here to make sure your pet feels happy, safe and totally spoiled while you're away 🥰 I'm currently working a hybrid role, which means I tend to go into the office once or twice a week. My job is also very flexible which means, dog walks, popping it to check on your pet during working hours, will not be an issue at all. I have a fenced garden, in a safe area, away from the main road - with plenty of lovely walking routes nearby, which I'm sure your pet will enjoy!

About: I’ve never had the fortune to have my own dog and I still don’t. This is why I consider each dog my own! I’m trying to fill a dog-shaped hole in my heart with yours. In doing so, my aim is to have you feel at peace that your fur baby is in responsible, responsive, and diligent hands while you’re away. I work from home multiple times a week. I’m happy to find an arrangement that works for everyone. I’m also free in the weekends and most evenings. I believe in respecting the pet owner’s space as you’re trusting us 100% with it. In my previous pet-sitting stints, I’ve always looked in on the house itself when I checked in on the pet. I’m also an avid plant lover and I’d love to keep an eye out for your prized possessions.

About: I am 18 years old and have grown up with pets my whole life. I have access to a car and a full clean drivers license and therefore due to my love of animals decided a fun way to make some money before travelling with my friends next year would be to pet sit. I have pet sat in the past for friends, family and people who live in my village near bicester. I have previously looked after cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and dogs as well as having previously owned two hamsters and a labrador. I currently have a 5 month old labrador puppy who I train with my parents therefore I feel extremely qualified and experienced with looking after young pets as well as an older pets. I often walk dogs for people in my village and have therefore gained skills in getting to know each pet separately and recognising their personalities and how they like to be treated. I am confident around all animals and pets, big or small and I am currently at home doing temporary work and therefore am around and available to pet sit. I offer dog walks and home visits. I am currently working part time at my local pub as well as with a hospitality agency based in central Oxford. Therefore, I am around at times during the day to walk dogs or conduct home visits. I have a young puppy and therefore am experienced in training and taking care of all ages of dogs. I am happy to give pets as much or little attention as they like as well as walking them for a desired amount of time.

About: I have a beautiful Border Collie called Buddy who I trained from a young pup. I’ve also spent a lot of time around animals growing up & have volunteered in an animal shelter while in Australia 😊 I love dogs of all shapes, sizes and characters! I’m based in Banbury, Oxfordshire. I am a marketing professional by trade but am currently in between jobs so I have flexibility for dog sitting. I’ll spend quality time with your doggie including much needed play time, walks, regular toilet breaks, and anything else that is required. I can adapt to each dog :)

About: Ever since I was born I have lived and grown up with dogs in the house. I’ve also been in a house whilst a family member of mine had his own dog boarding business ( having 13 dogs in our house during doggy day care! ) So I am no stranger to being around animals. I currently live with my family here in Warwick with our two huskies Rey and Suki. I also often visit my auntie and her little Floof Diddy! I am travelling in March 2025 so looking to take on some pet sitting and care to earn some extra money with the benefit of great company🥰 I am happy to follow any rules or restrictions you have in your home whether that’s crate training, no pets on furniture or in certain rooms, no human food etc. If allowed your pet is more than welcome to share the bed if they are cuddlers at night:)

About: I have been walking and looking after pets for the last 4 years or so. I really enjoying walking dogs, spending time with them and learning about their different personalities. I’m well equipped for dogs with behavioural issues. I have 2 dogs and a cat aswell as Guinea pigs and hamsters previously. I have it listed on here that I don’t own any dogs, this is because they are not currently living at the home in London and are at my mum house in Oxfordshire.

I am taking a year out before going to Bristol next September I live near big fields and also have sufficient land so will take the pet on multiple walks a day. I have 2 dogs at home, a 4 year old female cocker spaniel and a 2 month old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.

Georgia L.
“Georgia has had a passion for animals from a young age! Growing up, Georgia lived with cats and was an avid horse rider. Her love for horses quickly converted to caring for horses, this gave Georgia far more joy than riding them. In her teenage years, Georgias family got a cavachon, Georgia has been brilliant with walking him and caring for him. Georgia doesn’t just love animals, animals love her too!”

Mary S.
“I would definitely recommend Mary as a pet/housesitter. She has stayed in my home twice now to look after our cat and chinchilla who love her. She really is a natural with animals. She takes great care in making sure she sticks to their usual routines and the fact she is a qualified veterinary nurse means that I know they are in the best hands while I am away.”


Kimberley R.
“Kim has provided her dog sitting services for us on several occasions now. Until finding Kim we've always found it incredibly difficult to plan nights away as having three dogs is a pretty full on commitment. We've often relied on family members who themselves don't have pets and whilst they've been a huge help we were often on tenterhooks or fretting and unable to enjoy our night. Our dogs adore Kim (Louie the French Bulldog, Walter the Pug and Lola the Bichon Frisé). Kim takes tremendous care not only of our dogs, but our home too. We feel so much more at ease now when planning nights / weekends away. We know we needn't worry and that everything is taken care of. Would highly recommend!”

Natalie S.
“Natalie is a caring animal lover, she takes care of our border collie when we are away on holidays, she will groom him , teach him new tricks and give him plenty of cuddles.”


Shannon L.
“Shannon is a very caring and considerate person who loves animals, she has grown up around pets all her life and is aware of what they love and need. She is a great communicator and will always keep you up to date with how your pet is doing. I would happily recommend her to look after your pet and your home.”


Nicola E.
“Nicola did a fantastic job caring for our 13 year old black lab. As Barney is very anxious, it was vital we found someone who would care for him in his own home. Barney is also on a lot of medication which Nicola was not phased by. Nicola provided us with regular text/photo updates whilst we were on holiday which really put our mind at rest. Could not recommend enough.”


Nick C.
“Nick is a loving and caring father of 3 lovely kids. He is conscientious trustworthy and a hard worker. He is extremely fit and has had pets in his life from an early age that he loved and cared for. From Gerbils and cats to dogs, 2 lab crosses BJ and Dino who he adored. He would be a completely reliable sitter for any and all pets”
