“I can’t recommend Alice enough she was brilliant while looking after my cat. He absolutely loved her and she took great care of him, keeping me updated and making me feel at ease. Will most definitely be booking Alice for future dates :) thank you again!”
2. Katie L.
“Katie was a great sitter and my cat Lilith got on really well with her! She was very communicative beforehand, kept me updated when I was away, and sent loads of pictures. My cat knocked a plant pot down the stairs whilst I was away and Katie cleaned it up, saved my plant, and made sure Lilith was ok. I would highly recommend her!”

5. Amber R.

6. Daisy N.
“Daisy has been a family friend and has been walking our dog for two years. She has always been the sweetest and most trustworthy person to have around our dog, ensuring he gets the right amount of exercise and is happy on his walks and during daily visits. Having someone in your house can be stressful, but Daisy has always made it very easy by giving updates and calling us, as well as following the instructions that we give her. We love her dearly and she is the best addition to our dog's life!”
7. Rebecca B.
About: I’ve always had dogs within the family from a young age, growing up with my Granddad I’ve taken care of dogs such as New Foundlands, Westie’s, Akita’s and Jack Russell’s (and all dogs in between!). My own dog Yogi unfortunately passed away this year, he was 13 years old and my absolute best friend - so I’m also used to taking care of senior, more fragile dogs. As well as this, a couple of my friends always count on me to drop in on their fur babies when they’re away for the day or on holiday, so they can vouch for me! Dogs are the love of my life, and I always cater to their individual needs, as just like human’s they’re all different - whether it be walks, playtime, or just cuddling on the sofa! I’ll always keep pet parents up to date with photos and messages, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own, and with plenty care and attention ✨ I’m lucky enough to work in a hybrid role which gives me the flexibility to be at home most of the week, as well as this, my company / boss are avid dog lovers too and are more than supportive of me starting my journey with Rover (my boss was actually the person who told me about it!). I’m able to look after your pets throughout the day at any point (apart from a Tuesday and a Wednesday when I’m in the office), whether this be at my own home or at yours - whichever is easier for you and your pet! Weekends I have plenty of free time, so taking care of your pets wouldn’t affect my weekly routine at all. In fact, I’d prefer to be socialising with dogs over people! ✨ I have a fenced off garden with a park at the back of my house for walks and exercise. My house was able to take care of a 45kg+ Akita for several years, and has plenty of comfortable spots for your pet to relax and rest. I’m used to gentler dogs, however have experience with boisterous dogs too (my sister has a puppy currently who loves to jump up at everything and everyone). I can cater to special diets, administer medication if required, encourage crate use (if this is something you do), and overall adapt to your pet’s needs.
8. Tianya A.
“Absolutely amazing Tianya is looking after Cairo and she’s doing an absolute amazing job with him! He’s always well fed, played with and given the best treatment. I’ve always been sceptical of leaving my boy with anyone but for the first time I’ve used this app/someone and Tianya is simply amazing. Words don’t do enough justice as to how amazing she truly is🥰👏🏽”
9. Phoebe J.
“Phoebe did great drop-in visits to look after our 2 kitties. Punctual, very responsive and send us lovely pics. Highly recommended her services🙏💕😻😻”
10. Alicja B.
“Alicja has dedicated her life for her dog Dexter and always puts him as her priority. She doesn’t think of dogs as a chore but as a companion. She has looked after many dogs with the intention to make her dog happy.”
11. Marcia G.
“Marcia is a wonderful, caring, and very diligent pet sitter who takes her responsibility very seriously. She is an excellent communicator and checks in everyday with texts, photos, and short videos providing extra reassurance. If there is an emergency situation of any kind, Marcia will make every attempt to make contact more directly with a voice call. I'm very thankful I had Marcia looking after my cat.”
12. Priscilla T.
“Priscilla did amazing with her drop in visits to my dog! She sent loads of pictures and videos and my dog was very excited to see her and loved her company. Would highly recommend!!”
13. Jong Yu C.
“I would recommend Jerry 100%! Excellent communication, sending us photos and videos when he called in to see Kat. She's very shy so Jerry put in the effort to let her slowly feel comfortable around him. Will definitely ask Jerry to Kat-sit again!”
14. eve m.
“Eve is a brilliant dog sitter and our little Roo loves her. She gets plenty of attention, play, cuddles, and is always fed and walked diligently. In fact Roo always seems to be a little sad as she leaves and is super excited when she realises she’s getting dropped off. Would highly recommend Eve as a sitter to others.”
15. 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”
16. Isabelle G.
“Izzie looked after my senior dog Dexter for a few days when my parents were away in Cornwall and I was working. She is a very caring person and absolutely adores any and all animals. She often looks after her dads two dogs, house sitting, walking and general care. I can highly recommend her as a reliable and extremely passionate person to look after your dogs or cats.”
17. 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.
18. Catrin O.
“Catrin was brilliant with my cat Lilith. It was my first time leaving her alone since adoption so I was a bit nervous. Catrin made me feel at ease, kept me updated, and sent many pictures. She was very kind and communicative. I would highly recommend her!!”
19. Karmen Č.
“Karmen is an excellent sitter, guaranteed to deliver the best service as requested. Thanks you so much!”
20. Naomi G.
“Naomi took great care of our two cats which put our minds at rest on holiday knowing they were happy and well looked after. We would definitely recommend Naomi.”
