“So happy to have found Maria to look after Daisy for 10 days while we were on holiday. It was the first time we had left Daisy, but Maria's confidence and love for dogs made us feel immediately relaxed. She kept us updated with photos, and it looked like Daisy had a nice holiday too.”

“Shishir and Marion took great care of Alfie, from the start they saw I was anxious about leaving him with a strangers and did everything they could help reassure me, allowing me to schedule a few meetings and greets to get to know them and for them to get to know Alfie. Throughout my stay I got daily updates and pictures and felt constantly reassured he was happy whilst I was enjoying my holiday. I would book them again without a doubt and highly recommend them!”
“Mina took care of our spring/collie cross 4yr old over three days. A good summary is our dog did not want to leave! Mina was absolutely lovely with her throughout.

We will not hesitate to use Courtney again in the future.”

She updated us with lots of pictures of how our cat was doing whilst we were on holiday, her warmth and love for animals was very clear to see and she took really good care of our pet. We will definitely use her services again soon.”
“I would have no hesitation in recommending Laura as the purrfect cat sitter for your cat. I was nervous about booking someone to look after my 18 year old cat Sheba, as I had always relied on my family to care for her when I was away. However, Laura put my mind at rest and I knew that Sheba would be well cared for. Through a series of questions and answers Laura knew exactly what routine Sheba was used to; I provided notes and instructions and Laura followed these accurately. She communicated after every visit, asking questions and providing feedback, photos and videos. She developed a rapport with Sheba and as the days progressed I could see that my cat was relaxed and happy in Laura's presence. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough!”
About: My secret is that cats might just be my favourite (don't tell my dog Gatsby!). Growing up surrounded by them, I can genuinely say that caring for cats is one of my greatest joys. I grew up with three rescue cats, Teddy, Lulu, and Puchu, and have cared for them throughout their entire lives. Having rescue cats from a young age taught me so much about patience, and understanding that every cat is completely unique. Some cats take time to warm up to new people, some have specific routines they rely on, and some simply need a quieter, more considered approach. I'm completely comfortable navigating all of that and always let cats set the pace. Beyond my own, I regularly cared for my neighbours' two cats, Whiskey and Bailey, handling everything from feeding and playtime to simply keeping them company, and they brought me an enormous amount of joy in return. I also cat sit frequently for friends and family, and every single cat I've had the pleasure of caring for has felt like my own. I currently have Zelda, my 3 year old British Shorthair, so I'm well acquainted with the day-to-day needs of cats at every stage. I'm also comfortable with the grooming needs of long haired cats, should that be required. Whatever your cat's personality, shy or bold, I will tailor my care entirely to them and ensure they feel safe and loved while you're away.
“Chloe was great with my cat. She sent photos and followed my instructions really well. I'm so happy she looked after him. My home was tidy and clean when I got back and Timmy seemed very cosy laying in bed waiting for us to come home. Thank you for looking after him whilst we were away 😊”

About: Hi, I’m Natalie, a devoted animal lover with more than 10 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. Having always been surrounded by pets—both my own and those of friends and family—I understand just how much trust, love, and attention dogs need, especially when their owners are busy. What sets me apart? I’m not just a passionate dog walker; I’m fully committed to making pet care my lifelong career. I'm DBS-checked, insured, and deeply invested in providing the safest and most joyful experience for your furry family member. As a trusted, local companion, I’ll treat your dog like family, ensuring they’re well-exercised, happy, and secure in my care. Let’s make your dog’s walks the highlight of their day! After years of working in an office, I decided to follow my passion: spending my days outdoors, walking, and caring for animals. Stepping away from the desk has given me the chance to bring energy, enthusiasm, and full-time commitment to dog walking. Every week, my schedule is fully devoted to keeping pups happy, active, and well-cared for—whether it's a local walk, a day of play, or simply being a reliable friend for your pet. With a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for family pets, I understand the importance of providing safe, attentive, and loving care. In 2008, after extensive research, my family and I welcomed our first golden retriever, Jupe, and in 2011, we rescued Dylan, another wonderful golden. They were best buddies who taught me so much about what it means to truly care for dogs, from their daily needs to understanding their unique personalities. Both were with us for nearly 13 years, and the time spent with them has been invaluable to my understanding of pet care. I’m lucky to have a spacious, fenced-in garden and easy access to beautiful parks and fields nearby, making every walk an adventure and a secure space for play. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a caring, safe, and fun environment that pets thrive in!
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and studied canine behaviour for two years. I am responsible, caring, and consistent in my approach, and I work hard to support positive behaviour. While not a specialist, I have strong foundational knowledge and ensure every dog in my care is well-behaved and well-looked-after. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I work full-time as a dog walker/handler, so my days are structured around walks, feeding, training, and providing consistent care. I also have two small dogs of my own—Sheeva (12) and Poppy (11)—which keeps me experienced and engaged every day. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit in around life. It is my routine, and I truly enjoy giving each dog the attention, structure, and affection they need. I mainly provide care in my own home, where dogs enjoy a clean, tidy, and comfortable environment. There’s plenty of indoor space for them to relax, as well as a fully fenced, safe garden for toilet breaks and supervised outdoor play. I maintain a calm, structured routine and make sure each dog receives the right balance of attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, welcomed, and well cared for throughout their stay.
“Jess is amazing and wonderful ! Momo is usually shy and independent but, she's attached to Jess soon during her sitting. Jess reports us how Momo was spending even it was very little thing. We will absolutely repeat !”

About: My family has loved animals ever since I was little. When I was very young, we had three large dogs at home. I learned how to look after them. From an early age, I was in charge of refilling their water and food bowls, and sometimes helped my parents bathe them. We still have three dogs at home now. One is a Teddy that we have raised for nine years. The other two are puppies around three months old. We brought these two puppies over from my grandma’s house, and I even watched them being born. Therefore, I believe I have extensive experience caring for dogs at all life stages. I have just graduated from university and only work part-time, so I have plenty of free time most days. This allows me to dedicate lots of time to things I love, such as looking after cats and dogs. I’m more than happy to care for dogs during my free hours: any time before 11 a.m. and after 6 p.m. Spending time with pets will bring me great joy. If I take your pet back to my home, I promise to follow these rules strictly: First, I will keep the lights on at all times so the pets won’t feel scared. Besides, all doors and windows will be fully closed to guarantee their safety around the clock. If it is a dog, I will take it out for a walk every three hours to let it burn off extra energy. If it is a cat, I will play with it, and I have plenty of cat toys at home for it to enjoy. If I come over to your house to care for your pet: To start with, I will fully respect your privacy. I will send you photos of your pet, but I will never take random pictures of your house as we agreed. In addition, after spending time accompanying your pet, I will take away all food waste I generate. I will only leave after sending you photos to confirm your pet is safe and sound.
About: Hey! My name is Sena, I’m a lawyer working part time in the city, now based in Radlett where I get to enjoy the outdoors and spend more time around lots of animals. I grew up in a home with several pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small animals. I’m confident, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! :) At home I have a 14year old ginger tabby cat called Simba, who has been with me since he was a kitten and a 4 year German Shepherd cross Akita named Ralph :) Ralph has helped me build strong experience in handling larger, energetic dogs, I work Tuesday- Thursdays in the city. My partner and I alternate our work from home days so Ralph and Simba are never left alone Your dog will be looked after in a calm, loving home with plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, plus regular walks in the local open fields here in Radlett for exercise and fresh air. There’s lots of playtime, interaction, and company depending on your dog’s personality and energy levels — whether they’re active or prefer a quieter pace. I’m happy to follow all dietary requirements closely and stick to your dog’s normal routine. Brushing and basic grooming can also be included if needed. To keep things stress-free, your dog will be kept separate from my own dog, Ralph, so they can fully relax and feel at home in a calm environment.
“Our first time using rover and came across Antoniya, was a little nervous but met up with her prior to leaving our pup. She has good energy along with her partner. My pup likes his days there and comes home tired which is a good sign! Happy with the communication also and pictures that I get sent too.”
“We love Sabine! She is a great dog sitter - very friendly, easy to work with and make arrangements, and great at communicating - she always sends photos and updates of Pippa too which is lovely to see. Pippa always has the best time with Sabine and comes home very happy, it’s great knowing we’re leaving Pippa with someone we trust who always takes such good care of her. Highly recommend.”
About: Since losing my dog a couple of years a go at the grand old age of 15, I’ve been looking after pets for friends and family since. I live right next door to a lovely park, plenty of fields and trails. Happy to put the mileage in if your pet requires it. I’m patient and dogs seem to love me. Happy to help with training also. I work from home at present and I can pick and choose my hours. I can adjust my routine to suit your pet if needed, no problem at all. If your pet is unsociable I can walk early and late if necessary. I have a large flat with a safe and secure balcony. I am 30 seconds away from a park, 5mins away from fields and there are a number of trails and woodland walks close by. If required to sit in at your place, I am clean, quiet and respectable. Happy to be adaptable to your pets needs. Whatever it takes to make the feel safe and secure.

About: Hello, I’m Abby! I’m an animal lover and pet parent to three cats and one very fluffy dog - so I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. 🐾 I bring my dog to enclosed fields and go on fun adventures several times a week and would love to bring some other furry friends with us too! If your dog would like a change in scenery, a chance to run around freely in a safe space send me a message! 🥰 I prioritise dog wellbeing, safety, exercise, and lots of love on every walk and visit. I am also a qualified and experienced dog groomer working from home with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. Your dog’s happiness, safety and wellbeing are always my top priority! 🐾 I currently work from home as a dog groomer taking on minimal appointments a week, leaving me a lot of extra time to spend with more dogs! I enjoy doing all things that involves my own furball - from daily training, group classes to hiring out fenced enclosures for full off lead freedom multiple times a week and we would love for some new fluffy friends to join us! I always put dogs comfort and wellbeing as a priority. As a personal rule, I don't introduce new dogs to each other right away - I like to get to know your dog personally first before I introduce them to others in for the safety of everyone's dogs. I have a fully fenced garden that is always accessible as well as a crate for those who prefers a safe secure space.
“Leaving Bailey with Romina and her father was brilliant. She went on loads of walks through the day and I got back a happy, well exercised pup. Will definitely be asking her for help whenever I can't take Bailey with me.”

About: Animals have been central to my life for as long as I can remember, growing up alongside dogs and cats and developing a genuine passion for their care and wellbeing. I began formally pet sitting and dog walking at 16, and have since built up years of experience caring for the pets of neighbours, family, and friends. I currently have two companions of my own. Gatsby, my two year old cavapoo, and Zelda, my 3 year old cat, both of whom I raised from puppyhood and kittenhood respectively. This means I'm well versed in the particular needs of younger and adolescent animals, from high energy play and socialisation to patience during those early settling in stages. Before Gatsby, my family owned Sancho, our Rottweiler, so I'm equally comfortable and confident handling and walking larger breeds. Having owned my own pets, I know deeply how much our animals mean to us, they're our family. That understanding drives my commitment to providing the same standard of love, attention, and care that I give to Gatsby and Zelda to every animal I take care of. Whether your pet needs a reassuring presence while you're away, regular walks, or simply some extra company, you can count on me to treat them as my own 😁 Having just finished university, I'm currently very flexible and able to tailor my availability almost entirely around your pet's needs. Whether you need early morning walks, daytime check ins, or regular weekly arrangements, I can work around what suits you and your animal best. I'm particularly available throughout the summer and can accommodate bookings at short notice where possible. As I share my home with my own dog and cat, I'm unable to offer boarding or sitting at my own property. This ensures no unnecessary stress for your pet or mine. Instead, I come to you, which I find is often the least disruptive option for animals anyway, as they get to stay in the comfort of their own familiar environment. For dog walking, I'm happy to accommodate early morning walks. Particularly important during these warmer summer months which I know can be tough on dogs. My own dog Gatsby is very friendly and can come along to keep your fur baby company if they would enjoy that. I own my own car, so I'm also able to take dogs to new and stimulating locations such as forests, nature reserves, and open parks, if they're comfortable with car travel and up for an adventure. Am happy to dog sit/walk for long periods of time if so (half-day, or full-day outings depending on the dog). I would accommodate the furry friend entirely on their own needs <3 I'm also open to house sitting depending on location and length of stay. Whatever the arrangement, my priority is always that your animal feels safe and genuinely cared for.

“Julia is so lovely with our Yorkie Sophie. We know Sophie is in safe hands. She always comes back from walks with Julia tired and happy :) Julia is very good with contact, and very friendly and professional. Highly recommended.”
“Julia was great with Monty. She came to visit and walk him with a view to booking future walks and house sitting. Unfortunately Monty injured his paw on our driveway running out to greet her and could then go for a walk but Julia helped me to inspect his paw and played / spent time with him inside instead.”

I work from home at present and I can pick and choose my hours. I can adjust my routine to suit your pet if needed, no problem at all. If your pet is unsociable I can walk early and late if necessary. I have a large flat with a safe and secure balcony. I am 30 seconds away from a park, 5mins away from fields and there are a number of trails and woodland walks close by. If required to sit in at your place, I am clean, quiet and respectable. Happy to be adaptable to your pets needs. Whatever it takes to make the feel safe and secure.

About: I am currently a 3rd year Veterinary Medicine student at the Royal Veterinary College in Potters Bar, in between my studies I have a lot of time to help out with any pet care you require. I have over 12 weeks of work experience at animal rescues, kennels, and catteries over the past two years, which has given me a solid understanding of animal behaviour and appropriate handling of different breeds. Additionally I have many weeks of petsitting/housesitting experience which I would be happy to provide references for :). At home, I have a high-energy english pointer and have had cats my whole life but sadly living away whilst at uni means I miss my pets a lot, a house without a pet definitely feels empty! I also previously worked in a vet clinic for over a year, therefore have good communication and professionalism skills - you can guarantee I will reply promptly and provide a professional service! I understand that sometimes you want to give your pet the best life possible but it can be difficult to fit around a busy schedule, that is why i’m here to ensure that your pet gets everything they need while you can carry on with your day! I have a car so can travel to wherever you are located + can take your dog out if needed (I have a dog guard), which is important for veterinary emergencies or also just to go on a fun walk! I am currently studying at university, however, I have a lot of spare time during the week. Since each day has a different structure when I am available can vary slightly but I can very easily structure when I am working around when you need help! The evenings and the weekends are the times where I am the most available to book. At home, my pointer gets a long walk (1hr+) in the woods or fields once a day. Being high energy, she needs a long stimulating walk to run off some of that energy! She gets fed immediately after the walk as she is very non food motivated and will only eat when shes starving! At home she sleeps a lot and then gets her second rush of energy in the evening, this is where we tend to mentally stimulate her by playing with her and getting her to do tricks. Her and my cat are very close and can often be found snuggling together during the day or in the evening. My cat is abnormally large for his breed which means he’s a bit more prone to injury and doesn’t have the best breathing but now he is older he is mostly interested in snuggling with you and occasionally playing (while laying down usually).
About: While I don't have formal pet-sitting experience yet, I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for my own senior cat, so I'm well-versed in the daily routines, patience, and love that pets deserve. I'm a massive animal lover across the board and am just as comfortable keeping a dog happy, walked, and entertained as I am looking after felines. I know how tough it is to leave your pets behind, and I’ll treat yours with the exact same care and attention I give my own. I have a highly flexible routine which gives me plenty of dedicated time for pet care. I’m fully available for boarding and sitting over the weekends, and on weekdays I am free anytime after 2pm to focus entirely on walking, feeding, and playing with your pets. Whether looking after your pets in my home or yours, safety is my top priority. I focus on maintaining their exact feeding and walking routines to keep them happy, and I always ensure doors and gates are fully secured. Your pets will receive constant attention, love, and care
About: Hey! My name is Sena, I’m a lawyer working part time in the city, now based in Radlett where I get to enjoy the outdoors and spend more time around lots of animals. I grew up in a home with several pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small animals. I’m confident, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! :) At home I have a 14year old ginger tabby cat called Simba, who has been with me since he was a kitten and a 4 year German Shepherd cross Akita named Ralph :) Ralph has helped me build strong experience in handling larger, energetic dogs, I work Tuesday- Thursdays in the city. My partner and I alternate our work from home days so Ralph and Simba are never left alone Your dog will be looked after in a calm, loving home with plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, plus regular walks in the local open fields here in Radlett for exercise and fresh air. There’s lots of playtime, interaction, and company depending on your dog’s personality and energy levels — whether they’re active or prefer a quieter pace. I’m happy to follow all dietary requirements closely and stick to your dog’s normal routine. Brushing and basic grooming can also be included if needed. To keep things stress-free, your dog will be kept separate from my own dog, Ralph, so they can fully relax and feel at home in a calm environment.
“Amazing walker. Our dog loved meeting Dani and would get excited every time she came round! The walks were carried out well, with pictures and a full Rover report card sent through. Contact with Dani was very good, with prompt replies. Highly recommend.”
“Morgan is amazing! I was a little worried because I rescued Ioli 10 years ago. Even though she’s been with us for a long time, meeting new people is still sometimes difficult for her, probably because she was abandoned and abused during the first two years of her life. To my surprise, she absolutely loved Morgan from their very first meeting! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she felt so comfortable and happy. Morgan was kind, patient, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would!”

“Blu is fantastic! I feel so at ease knowing my girl is with Blu. She’s so great with Cherrys quirks and reactivity around other dogs, which I know can be tricky. I know Cherrys is in good hands with Blu. She is so willing to help out if there’s any change in schedules or anything and Cherry seems to love her walks!”
About: My family has loved animals ever since I was little. When I was very young, we had three large dogs at home. I learned how to look after them. From an early age, I was in charge of refilling their water and food bowls, and sometimes helped my parents bathe them. We still have three dogs at home now. One is a Teddy that we have raised for nine years. The other two are puppies around three months old. We brought these two puppies over from my grandma’s house, and I even watched them being born. Therefore, I believe I have extensive experience caring for dogs at all life stages. I have just graduated from university and only work part-time, so I have plenty of free time most days. This allows me to dedicate lots of time to things I love, such as looking after cats and dogs. I’m more than happy to care for dogs during my free hours: any time before 11 a.m. and after 6 p.m. Spending time with pets will bring me great joy. If I take your pet back to my home, I promise to follow these rules strictly: First, I will keep the lights on at all times so the pets won’t feel scared. Besides, all doors and windows will be fully closed to guarantee their safety around the clock. If it is a dog, I will take it out for a walk every three hours to let it burn off extra energy. If it is a cat, I will play with it, and I have plenty of cat toys at home for it to enjoy. If I come over to your house to care for your pet: To start with, I will fully respect your privacy. I will send you photos of your pet, but I will never take random pictures of your house as we agreed. In addition, after spending time accompanying your pet, I will take away all food waste I generate. I will only leave after sending you photos to confirm your pet is safe and sound.

“So happy to have found Maria to look after Daisy for 10 days while we were on holiday. It was the first time we had left Daisy, but Maria's confidence and love for dogs made us feel immediately relaxed. She kept us updated with photos, and it looked like Daisy had a nice holiday too.”
“Lovely stay with Karen and her family Chester loves spending time with them and we are very very comfortable and happy leaving him as he treated as one of the family. Thank you so much!”

“Luke was amazing! Didn't mind at all my dog has her quirks, and in fact she seemed to behave herself. He sent regular updates, photos & videos. She had a great time with him. Lots of lovely walks and a little adventure or two. She has come home quite miserable 😁”
“Our first experience with a dog sitter for our 10 month old Cane Corso and we are so grateful to have found Julian. Such a lovely and well experienced knowledgeable guy with K9's. Kept me updated daily and communication was so easy and relaxed. Thank you so much Julian. We are eternally grateful to you and Atlas is happy to have made a new trusted friend in you 😊🐾”
“We couldn't be happier with Elizabeth's care for our dog, Charlie! Over the 5 days we were away, she was incredibly communicative and responsive. We always knew exactly how things were going, and she sent so many wonderful photos that genuinely put our minds at ease. She was gentle and kind from the very start, and her accommodating nature made the whole experience completely stress-free for us. It was clear Charlie was in loving, capable hands the entire time. Elizabeth is without a doubt a great dog sitter, and we will absolutely book with her again. We recommend her without any hesitation! 🐾♥️”
“Wonderful sitter. My dog had such a great time i thought he wouldn’t want to come back. Emma sent lots of photos of his weekend stay. She is certainly my dog carer of choice.”
“Saransh and his wife were great with my dog. Luna is s reactive dog and takes her some time to get used to new people and Saransh was so good to her, they were besties in record time.”
“Ethan and Lauren have cared for our dog, Pinky, multiple times (daytime and overnight). They are so generous, lovely, and caring. We were worried about leaving Pinky overnight for the first time but he pulled us to get in to see Ethan and Lauren which made his feelings clear! We are very pleased to have found them (as is Pinky).”
“Tatiana is absolutely brilliant! She took great care of our Oscar and sent lots of pictures regularly showing us what a great time he was having! Couldn’t ask for a better place to leave our fur baby and highly recommend :)”
“Our dog Chai had a wonderful time with Tanirika. He stayed over for 5 days and was well looked after. Tanirika gave us regular updates throughout his stay and we could see he was thoroughly enjoying himself and was in great hands. This reassurance allowed me and my family to relax and enjoy our trip abroad. I highly recommend Tanirika if you ever need someone to look after your dog.”
“I had a lovely experience with Jennifer. It was lovely meeting her and her husband they are very warm and welcoming, I immediately felt as ease. Jennifer’s communication is fabulous and I really appreciate all the photos she sent me of my dog’s progress. I like her way of doing things they were just like I’d do at home and it makes me super confident that my Dafe is in the best care! I booked an overnight stay as I’d like to use Jennifer more long term so I wanted to see how my Dafe got on with her and her family. I’m so confident with continuing on with her. Thanks Jennifer!!!!! You’re awesome. Just an additional note: when I went to pick up my dog he was just super chilled. It took me back a little - granted he was happy to see me, but not in an overly excited was like he was ready to go home. He looked like he could have comfortably gone back to bed, which MADE MY DAY!!!!!!! I must also add that Jennifer’s house is beautiful, it’s peaceful, SUPER SPOTLESS WOW! and overall warm. It’s definitely an environment and family you’d want your dog to be with. 10/10!”
“Robin is brilliant! Much better than kennels. It's obvious that he loves dogs and they love him back. He shared videos of our puppy-dogs on various walks, which was way beyond what we expected. If there were 7 stars, he'd score 7.”
“Buddy recently had daycare and an overnight stay, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I loved receiving frequent updates, and it was clear he had a great time, especially spending time with Flossy. Buddy came home happy and relaxed. I would highly recommend!”
“Evelyn was absolutely amazing and did an outstanding job with Snoopy. From the very first moment, it was clear that she has extensive experience with dogs, and she was so gentle, caring, and pampering with my dog. Throughout my entire vacation, she made sure to send me regular updates and lovely photos, which kept me completely at ease. I could travel with peace of mind, knowing my dog was in the safest and most dedicated hands. Highly recommended!”
“We are ongoing customers of Anushka & Adam and are very happy to highly recommend them. We left our Lulu with them for 4 days and they kept updating us with photos as to her whereabouts and when I picked up Lulu this morning she was very happy and in a great mood. Everytime she sees Anushka or Adam she greets them very enthusiastically. Thank you very much guys!”
