1. Katie L.

“Excellent care given to my elderly cat. I would definitely use Katie again as I felt I could trust her to look after things sensibly while I was away.”


2. Amber R.

“Thank you for your help. So easy to organise and Oscar loves his dog walks with you.”


3. Ella D.

“Sorry for the delay on the review… Ella, you were absolutely fantastic. Thank you for taking very good care of our cats, they are very happy. I will definitely be booking you again for future holidays (and next time keep the tip, the left over cash was for you)”


4. Daniel Luke H.

“Absolutely cannot praise Daniel enough or recommend him more. It’s always tricky when i’m arranging for someone new to looking after Tubbs but I was reassured when I met him. Will definitely be using him again”




5. Kirsty V.

“First time using the app and a great experience! Kirsty looked after my cats so well, great communication and regular updates. Went above and beyond, even doing extra visits when my train home was delayed. Will definitely be using Kirsty again ❤️”


6. Sophie B.
“Sophie is a highly trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She ensured our dogs were well fed and definitely exercised, given that they lay infront of the fire for the whole evening afterwards. She clearly has a passion for animals, and we will definitely be returning to use her services. On top of all, she is a lovely and kind young lady and treated the house with the utmost respect.”


7. Jong Yu C.

“My cat Lilith seems to have had a great time with Jerry and Jess! I got photos of her getting cuddles from them and they left me some new treats to try with her. They were very communicative beforehand, kept me updated whilst I was away, and sent me loads of photos. I would highly recommend them and will definitely book them again.”


8. Gabriella H.
“Gabby takes great care of pets, she pays close attention to their routine and any quirks and takes a lot of time getting to know them. She’s great with cats and dogs alike, and loves to be around them and takes great pride in making them happy and comfortable.”


9. Celine J.

“Absolute angel! I felt that my boy was in safe hands and loved all the photos too. Great updates and so easy to talk to ♥️”


10. Joshua A.
“Joshua has always had a special place when it comes to animals, he’s always had a passion to work with them. We’ve owned numerous dogs over the years and Josh has always been there to help, come rain or shine that boy is out walking them. Ever since he was little he’s always wanted animals, every Christmas and every birthday he’d ask me if he could have a dog…well when I finally gave in it was the best decision we ever made! He cared for that dog amazingly. He never asked for help with walking or buying things because his response “it’s my dog so my responsibility”. The love that he has for animals is something else, he will quite easily put animals before himself most of the time as he’s just got so much love to give them.”


11. Meg W.

“Meg has always been so caring towards George, and he loves to see her, so I had no doubt our puppy, Mabel would be the same! Both dogs got lots of attention, and all instructions were followed perfectly 🥰”


12. Dominic M.
“Dominic has been walking our Chocolate Lab Molly for several years. He has continually demonstrated a caring and loving attitude to her and her needs. Can’t recommend him enough.”


13. Tasha Y.

“Very new to Rover. Tasha has been great, in terms of communicating to arrange booking and working with me to ensure the cat visits go smoothly. I also received regular updates, photos and videos of Zeus whilst on holiday. After experiencing a few cat sitters who had let me down due to poor / no communication, Tasha has been great and would certainly be considering using again.”


14. Priscilla T.

“Priscilla was excellent. The cats were very looked after and she went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. She kept us updated and was very considerate. I will definitely book Priscilla again. Our cats were in very caring hands. We are very lucky to have found her.”


15. Katarina H.

“Katrina came to visit to meet my dog ahead of a long stay with him. He’s a bit on the anxious side but Katarina was great with him. Very attentive and asked lots of questions to make sure she understood his needs. Very happy with our new dog sitter and very confident that our little dog will be in safe hands while we’re away.”


16. Leah M.
About: I have had a cat every year since I was 12 - my first cat Dexter was a little terror, but my current cat Finn is a little angel. I have been around dogs of all breeds my entire life, with my Mum's best friend owning a boarding centre. I have also sat for my friend's dogs and would love to whenever they need me to again. I am currently working full-time, and would be available 4pm onwards Monday-Friday, however my job is flexible and I can nip out for drop in visits. I am also able to work from home providing I can access the wifi in your home. I am also free on weekends. I am comfortable around dogs and happy to tailor my services to fit their needs. My cat Finn suffers with anxiety so I am good at reading animal's body language.


17. Naomi G.

“Naomi is brilliant, very caring and considerate and our cat loved having her and gave her lots of cuddles. Would definitely recommend and use her again :)”


18. Kenedi L.
“I would highly recommend Kenedi’s dog walking services. I have had Kenedi’s services many times and she is always amazing. Her caring and trustworthy nature shines through. She is amazing with my dog Narla. She will collect Narla from my home while I am at work, she is very professional and always gives me handovers at how the walk went. Kenedi is someone who I trust to go into my home when I am not there, my dog adores her and did from the first day she met Kenedi.”

20. Kieran T.
“Kieran is a kind and caring individual who loves animals, so is the perfect individual to trust with providing the care required for our pets. Kieran is trustworthy and also appreciates that our animals are part of the family and loved very much, so knows what level of care is expected and delivers that. Kieran has cared for my cat previously with twice daily visits, to provide food and water, and clear litter trays etc. but provided that bit extra by staying with my cat for a period of time to provide some extra fuss, also sending me a video of my cat enjoying some lap time :o). Very reassuring. I would use Kieran again and in fact I will be booking again shortly. Thanks.”
