1. Anastasiia O.

“Ana looked after our dog at ours while we went on holiday and did a great job. He got plenty of walks and attention and Ana kept us updated throughout. Our flat was very well looked after too.”


2. Margaret R.

“Our Sadie took to Margaret in less than a minute, and she is usually very shy around new people. She was lovely and kept us updated throughout the sit with pictures. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to look after your pup!”


3. Emily Fleur B.

“Emily is such a kind person, we are very comfortable to leave our Mia with her. So thankful she could look after Mia when we had a long day-out, and we will be using her services very soon as we're going away for a few days. Our dog is anxious and she needs extra love and attention that Emily is happy to provide ❤️ truly, we could not be happier that we found Emily!”


4. Alexander S.

“Alex did a great job of looking after my two cats for the weekend, sending lots of pictures to let me know how they were getting on and leaving the house spotless. Would highly recommend!”


5. Giulia B.

“Giulia is incredible with Zeus, even when he was feeling under the weather. So accommodating to his needs and helpful when I needed to changes things around.”


6. Jamie J.

“Jamie quickly responded to my request to dog sit for my dog Zeke for two days. In his reply he asked questions to clarify what was needed for Zeke’s care. On the day Jamie arrived early and was very friendly and eager to care for Zeke as I would. He brought treats, chews and a tennis ball for Zeke. Jamie took great care of Zeke. He administered medication when required. He also provided lots of updates throughout the day to let me know what they had been up to including photos and videos and a round up of the day too! Zeke can be reactive on walks but Jamie took on board our advice for how best to walk Zeke to manage this and this was successful. I would recommend Jamie for dog sitting as communication was great, he was prompt and took great care of Zeke.”


7. Maria G.

“Maria was an absolute lifesaver. She stepped in last minute and looked after our boys for Christmas. We got home to very happy cats and were kept updated throughout.”


8. Anneli C.

“Thank you to Anni who sat my shy Dachshund for the day in our home. Anni took time out to come and meet me in and Millie in person before the sit and that was much appreciated and invaluable for the handover on the day of the sit. Anni has been the perfect pet sitter in every sense and I left for the day feeling very relaxed. I received regular updates, lovely voice notes and never worried about a thing. The house was incredibly tidy when we arrived back home and I would have absolutely no hesitation booking Anni again and will be doing so shortly. An absolute gem 💎”

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”

“If you’re looking for the best pet sitter on Rover, look no further. Madhvi is amazing! She took care of my pup Max, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment they met, Max felt completely comfortable with her. And trust me, he’s picky with people! Max got plenty of cuddles, playtime with his favourite toys, and good walks. She even captured adorable videos showing how comfortable and happy Max was with her. You can tell she truly loves dogs, and Max absolutely loved her back soon. Highly recommend!”
