“First time using both Rover and Hannah. We were a little worried, but Hannah communicated brilliantly and popped round beforehand to check in with us on how we wanted things done. She messaged us yesterday and took photos of Poppy - which is how she always behaves after food with people she trusts so great relief and have already booked her in for a second time in a few weeks”



“Tatiana was great, kept in touch with us and sent us lots of lovely pictures of the fun things she got up to with our dog. Would definitely recommend!”


“did a great job!”


“We loved Serena and our cats did too. She let us know every day how they were and sent lots of pics. It was so reassuring to know we had someone so kind and reliable to look after them. We will definitely book her again!”


“Andrew looked after our best boy with his usual care and attention.”


About: Hi! I’m 24 years old and have been caring for dogs since I was 9, when I got my first pup and took full responsibility for feeding, cleaning, and daily care.

Very flexible with timings and days, DBS checked (as part of the voluntary work I do with kids) and happy dealing with all manner of cats and dogs. I work from home, so can just as easily spend the day sitting in with your furry friend (as long as there's an electrical outlet for my laptop!) or pop in throughout the day where necessary. Our cats are indoor cats, I also have plenty of experience living with cats and dogs and all the necessary responsibilities this involves.

About: Hi, I'm Micaela! Since I was a little girl, I've been a passionate animal lover. Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep connection with animals and a strong sense of responsibility when it comes to their care. I also had the opportunity to care for the pets in my neighborhood when I was very young, which further strengthened my experience and love for animals. Currently, I have a beloved dog back home in Peru who suffers from allergies. This experience has given me the opportunity to create a specialized care routine tailored to her needs, including managing her diet, administering medication, and providing a comfortable and safe environment. Through this, I've gained valuable skills in handling pets with special needs and understand the importance of patience and attention to detail. For me, a pet is like a child, and I understand the deep attachment they can hold in our lives. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my dedication to providing personalized care. Whether it's taking care of energetic puppies, providing gentle attention to senior pets, or creating specific routines for pets with unique health requirements, I am committed to ensuring their well-being and happiness. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and make sure they feel loved and safe while you're away! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As an actress and entrepreneur running my own online consulting business, I spend a lot of time on my computer and have a highly flexible schedule. Being my own boss allows me to work from anywhere, giving me the freedom to dedicate quality time and attention to your furry friends whenever needed. I strictly follow all instructions provided by the pet owner. If possible, I like to schedule a video call before my visit to understand the pet’s routine and any special needs. I also encourage owners to share tutorials or explain any specific details about their home that I should be aware of to ensure the best care for their pet.

I work from home a lot and can work from home and take breaks as and when needed, so pets will be well taken care of and receive attention. I live in a pet-friendly building that’s perfect for animals, with a fully enclosed terrace garden and an on-site pet spa for a bit of extra pampering.

Helena L.
“Helena is a wonderful person and loves dogs very much, which you can see in the care devotion she has put into her dog Ellie. Ellie is very well behaved, great on the lead and playful and gets along with other dogs. Her and our dog Luna got on really well during her visit and stay with us and they became besties. I would feel more than comfortable to leave my dog with her and think she would be a great addition to the Rover team. I wish her best of luck and hope we can meet again soon with our dogs.
