“Hannah was fab, lovely lady and I had a very happy cat when I returned home. The first pet sitter I've ever used and I was not disappointed, Hannah went over and above and clearly loves animals. Highly recommended :)”



“We loved having Tatiana and Mateo drop in on our puppy - Mateo's calmness was a big help in teaching her how to be around other dogs. Tatiana sent photo updates on both visits and was very perceptive in her observations - we really look forward to her next visit!”


About: Hello everyone, I grew up in a predominantly "dog-only" family / household. But for the past 3.5 years I am the proud dad of two wonderful Cats, Tugger and Salem.

Furthermore I attach great importance to proper care for my own cats and you can expect nothing less than the same for your fur-babies. I have currently plenty of time to play with and care for your Cats when needed, so my scheduled is quite flexible if needed and we can arrange the perfect routine for your pet(s). Firstly, of course, your pet(s) and I need to get to know each other and trust has to be build. I will ensure proper safety and attention for your fur-babies. It is no problem to give your Cat / Pet space if needed or a proper play / cuddle time. I will adhere to your to-do list in order to give your pet(s) the care you expect them to receive.

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. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes—from playful small breeds to strong, energetic large dogs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles and training, your pet will be in loving, reliable hands! I work in the office on Mondays and Tuesdays, but I’m home the rest of the week. I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in regular walks and give your furry friend all the love, care, and attention they need throughout the day I have a secure, pet-friendly garden with plenty of space for running and playing. I also live near open parks and beautiful woodlands—perfect for giving your pet the fresh air, exercise, and adventure they love.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and over 10 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs (all ages), including professional experience through Rover. I’ve rescued and adopted many strays, and I’m confident handling pets with all kinds of personalities, from shy or anxious animals to hyperactive, high-energy ones. I always adapt my approach to each pet’s needs, whether that means creating a calm, reassuring environment or engaging them in active play and stimulation. My priority is making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have patience and I am good in stressful situations. 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. My flat is safe, clean, and comfortable, with no hazards for pets. There’s also a lovely park just five minutes away where I take dogs for regular walks and playtime. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make sure they feel relaxed, entertained, and well looked after, just like part of the family.

About: I grew up in a home with pets - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish. This sparked a lifelong love of animals. I now live with my wife and two rescue cats Zeus and Hera, and work remotely as a designer. This has allowed me the time to dog/catsit for friends, and led to me signing up here to spend more time meeting the excellent cats and dogs of the local area! 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. Comfortable taking most size of dogs for walks, and keeping pets entertained when needed

About: I've grown up with pets from a very young age so have a life long love of dogs, cats and a variety of other furry friends.

I have my own garden which is fenced so a very safe place for your pup to have outdoor access whenever they need and live very near a lovely park for walkies.

I also live near a lovely, dog-friendly park so easy access for walks. I have no pets of my own (yet!) so your pet will be able to enjoy plenty of peace and quiet. I'm happy to accommodate any special needs or requests your pet may have :)

About: I have been taking care of friends and family's pet for over 4 years. I love going for long walks and play time with adorable fur balls. I have experience in puppy training and understand that every four legged friend is different but each of them need love, care and a safe space. I am currently between roles so have time to dedicate to walking and caring for a pup in need. Although I do not have a dog of my own, I frequently look after my mum's dog. I do not leave a dog unattended and ensure they have everything they need from water to food and even medication. Over night each dog is managed differently, depending on the owners preference for sleeping arrangements and house rules.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family my whole life. Latest addition over lockdown was sweet and very naughty collie pup Miffy in my photo. I’ve baby sat a lot of dogs on other apps, from pups to oldies, but I’ve heard great things about rover. I can do long, active walks, play rough or cwtch up with a pup to watch tv. Any energy level is good with me! Any time - Me and my partner are working from home during the week and at least one of us is in over the weekends. Can take dogs for several nights if needed. We have a one bed flat with an open plan kitchen living room, with a roof terrace with real grass and short walk from lovely park hill. I am not working at the moment so I am available most of the time, let me know when is good for you and we can arrange something that suits! We have no pets or children so no risk to your pets. We don’t have a garden but we are located close to the lovely park hill park.

“We are so grateful for Giulia’s care for Chester and Tika! We reached out to her just a few days before our trip, and she responded immediately and was available to help. She was very friendly, accommodating with key pick-up and drop-off, and flexible with our schedule. During her visits, Giulia kept us updated with photos/videos and messages about how Chester and Tika were doing. The cats absolutely adored her, and we could tell she took excellent care of them. We are extremely thankful and highly recommend Giulia to look after your fur babies! -Karolina and Lee”


About: I've been around big dogs for most of my life — growing up with boxers taught me early on how to handle strong, energetic pups with love and confidence. These days, I'm missing some four-legged company, so I'm excited to open my home and heart to dogs who need a little extra care while their humans are away. I'm available for weekend stays and possibly during the week too. I believe in plenty of exercise and attention — dogs in my care get three walks a day, lots of playtime, and plenty of cuddles and companionship. I live in a pet-friendly flat and have a car, which means adventures in Lloyd Park, Norwood Park, or even a bit further afield are all on the cards (with your go-ahead, of course!). Looking forward to meeting your pup! Your dog will get 3 walks a day all with additional potty breaks when needed. I will make sure your pet gets all the attention they need! I have a good sized flat - dogs especially love the secure balcony! Expect lots of photo/videos from me during their stay and/or home visits :)

“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. Jennifer”
