“Dalo was brilliant with Poco. He was caring, reliable, and kept me reassured throughout. Poco was happy and well looked after, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Dalo again. Highly recommend. 🐾”
“Justina provided excellent care for my two cats over Christmas and New Year. She sent me regular updates and reassured me they were well looked after. I will definitely be working with her again and would recommend her highly to others.”
“Charlie went the extra mile with Matilda, making sure my scared little cat felt safe! Charlie was very communicative and shared pictures every day. It was great to see how much Charlie played with Matilda, too. Thanks so much!”
“Maggie was a great cat sitter for our boys. They’re often nervous with new people but they took to her very quickly and seemed to enjoy having her to visit them. Would highly recommend!”
“Ricardo was the perfect cat-sitter. He checked in on time and sent photos and videos, and I can see that he spent play time with Milo so he didn’t feel too lonely while I was away. Milo needed medication which was prescribed just the day before I went away, and Ricardo dealt with this perfectly. He also respected my home and left it clean and tidy, and collected up my post. I highly recommend Ricardo. Thank you 😺”
“For Touk and Mango (3 and 1 year old cats). Very conscientious and ensured they were well-looked after while we were away! She gave us lots of updates which we appreciated and played with them lots. If you want someone who truly loves cats, Anh would be perfect!”
“Emma helped us out at very short notice with a cat sit and bit was so reassuring. She was prompt and was thorough. Gave me all relevant feedback on the visit. My cat can be a bit nervous amd she was understanding of that. Yes, would recommend Emma and book again.”
“Joly is an excellent cat sitter. Came in to check on our cat whilst we were away. Quick to respond and meet us initially then kept great communication throughout our time away. Thank you again!”

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. My years of experience in Pet Care / Pet Sitting in general helped me tremendously in caring for my Cats, who both mean everything to me. I am incredibly attentive being able to spot even the slightest change in behaviour in animals and can act accordingly. 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: I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet with the same care and affection I’d give my own. I specialize in reading cues and respecting boundaries, ensuring that your pet feels safe and heard. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and their tails wagging (or purring!) so they feel truly at home until you return. My work-from-home lifestyle allows me to be highly adaptable and responsive. I have plenty of time throughout the day to dedicate to your pet, ensuring they receive constant care, attention, and supervision without being left alone for long periods of time. I prioritise safety by staying fully present and attentive. I am playful when appropriate but always vigilant about your pet's boundaries and body language. I ensure the environment is secure so your pet feels completely safe, relaxed, and 'at home' while you are away
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.
About: I’m a proud pet parent to two British Longhair cats—Cone, who I’ve cared for for over three years, and Puff, a playful 1-year-old cat. I also cared for stray cats long before I had my own cats. Having looked after cats at different life stages, I know how to adapt care to their unique needs, whether that’s calm companionship, grooming, or energetic playtime. I also love dogs and enjoy spending time with them whenever I can. I often interact with my neighbour’s dogs and visit dog cafés, so I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I understand how important exercise, stimulation, and companionship are for dogs, and I’m always happy to give them the attention they need—whether that’s a long walk, play in the park, or simply a reassuring presence. I’m calm, reliable, and patient, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your cat or dog needs cuddles, company, or a dependable sitter while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Use my code KEVIN94352 at checkout to get £15 off your bill when you book your first service. I'm currently working from home, so my times are quite flexible to fit around dynamic schedules. I have plenty of time to interact with your pet. I have access to a fenced garden and a park is within 10 minutes walk. Both locations offer great outdoor spaces where your pet will enjoy and have the opportunity to play with other dogs.

Another fantastic experience with Suwannee. This was the longest we’d had to leave our cat but we knew she was in great hands and we were really grateful for all the updates and pictures - it’s clear how much Suwannee cares for the animals she looks after. Thank you Suwannee!
For Touk and Mango (3 and 1 year old cats). Very conscientious and ensured they were well-looked after while we were away! She gave us lots of updates which we appreciated and played with them lots. If you want someone who truly loves cats, Anh would be perfect!
This my first time using Rover I am really impressed Lesley N the cat sitter is absolutely amazing. She looked after my cat so well, and kept me informed of what's happening even when i had a leak at my house. The pictures were great I think my cat was disappointed to see me when I arrived home. I will be using Rover and Lesley again she is the best. Thank you
Justina couldn't have been any more amazing. My kitty absolutely adored her from the meet and greet and I am so glad I went with her. The amount of care and love she showed my cat wad unmatched. Her updates were daily and reassuring to me when I was overseas. I will definitely be booking her again.
Emma has been a marvellous help to myself and cat Max. She always goes the extra mile, and has been very thoughtful when visiting Max, for example making sure our bin was pushed into its place so not causing a nuisance on collection day. Emma knows Max well now and she is a trusted go to person for me. I would recommend her to all cat owners.
Sharon is a cat whisperer! My cat, being an ex-stray, is nervous around new people and hates sudden movements & sounds. Sharon gained Maggie's trust and built a rapport with her within 1 meeting. Sharon sent regular reports & photos while we were away; I felt very confident leaving Maggie to Sharon's excellent care. Thoroughly recommended!
Kayleigh did a wonderful job (as always) caring for Peggy and our new kitten Phoebe. She’s very reliable and a great communicator, using Rover Cards so we know when she has arrived and sharing photos each day. There’s a reason we keep using her again and again!
Rosie was an amazing cat sitter! She took wonderful care of my cat, Sammy, while I was away. Daily updates, photos, and genuine affection made me feel completely at ease. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless house. I couldn’t recommend Rosie more highly!
