“I could not have left my puppy in safer hands. Heidi and her husband took such love and care with our puppy he had no issues being away from home for the first time. Heidi even managed to give him some play dates as well as some wonderful walks. She communicates promptly and put my mind at rest by sending us regular photos of his day. I would not hesitate to have Heidi care for our little one again. She really does know what she is doing and she gives your dog her undivided attention. Beau had a fantastic time with you Heidi. We can’t really thank you enough, no words can express our sincere gratitude. Thank you so very much! Sonia xx”
“Amanda was very welcoming and Ruby was happy meeting the other dogs. Amanda kept in touch over the next four days, sending photos of Ruby out on walks. When we picked her up Amanda had everything ready and reassured us that Ruby had met and enjoyed meeting other dogs.”
“Mica was fantastic with Pablo. She took excellent care of him and sent us photos all the time. She also was very accommodating when we asked to pick him up earlier than agreed. He will definitely be coming back to stay 😀”
“A five star rating says it all really...getting updates and seeing how happy Noodle looked helped us relax and enjoy ourselves. Thanks Catherine (and family), we'll be back. 🤗”
“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!”
“Harry, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, had a wonderful time staying with Sarah. He loved her other Cavaliers and enjoyed great walks and lots of cuddles. He was so chilled when we arrived back to pick him up that he barely lifted his head from the comfiest, softiest bean bag that I've ever seen! We had a wonderful holiday knowing that Harry was being cared for with kindness and love. We can't thank you enough and look forward to seeing you soon!”
“Wonderful experience with Mylinh who got along famously with Ezra, immediately putting him at ease and making him feel at home. We were thrilled with how well she got to know Ezra and look after his needs and we received many detailed updates (including pictures) which really put our minds at ease. Will definitely look to use Mylinh again and would fully recommend.”
“Donna is wonderful, Monty loves his stays here. It’s really like home from home, he is treated like one of the family & we feel safe in the knowledge that he is having his own little holiday when we go away. Thank you Donna & Simon for being so caring.”
“My dog didn’t really want to come home with me, which showed how much he enjoyed himself! Timely communication, regular updates, and Henry was clearly very well cared for. Have no hesitation in boarding Henry with him again - he was pretty much immediately at ease!”

“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.”
“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!”
“Zsuzsanna took a great care of my dog, Claire. She also made time for me to meet and greet in advance for assurance. Her updates are fun! I enjoyed receiving her updates through her stay. I am glad that I have found Zsuzsanna via Rover!”
About: I have been around dogs since childhood and have had a Border collie from a pup up to senior years. I have looked after my Daughters Hungarian Vizsla since he was a puppy and he is now 3 years old, I still have him a couple of days/nights a week since she has moved house. I am very confident with high energy dogs( you don't get much more energetic than a Collie and a Vizsla!😄. I love dogs of all breeds and ages (although I do have a soft spot for the oldies) and prefer their company to humans as I'm sure most dog owners do🥰. I have taken early retirement from a busy office job and love spending my mornings going for a walk at the local parks and woodland which I am very lucky to have close by. I have a good size garden for playtime and dogs are welcome for a snuggle on the sofa with a cosy blanket. I'm no longer working so will have plenty of free time with your pups for walks, play and cuddles. I am flexible throughout the week and weekends for boarding when available. I have a fenced in garden and am around all day if your dog is anxious and needs company. Also have a bouncy 3 year old Viszla to hand for playtime if they are happy to do so.I have a large crate available if this is what your dog is more comfortable using for sleeping and chill time.
“Andrea is a lovely Dog sitter. We left our miniature Daschund, Lady, with her for 2 days and nights and Andrea sent us updates as to how Lady was doing. Andrea is very friendly and I would definitely recommend her 🥰”
“Michele always takes the most wonderful care of our pup Rizzo and Rizzo is always so excited to see her! It's so great to be able to leave Rizzo with Michele and know that she is having a lovely time. Michele always plans lots of walks and things to do with Rizzo and sends us lots of updates, and we have complete peace of mind when Rizzo is there. Thank you Michele!”
“Sara and family were fabulous. Presley settled quickly and he was treated like he was their own. I had loads of updates and photos and communication was excellent. We will definitely see her again. Thank you Sara.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Denise and her family. Murphy stayed with them for the weekend and was so well looked after from start to finish. Denise kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to relax knowing Murphy was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It was clear that Murphy was treated like one of the family and received plenty of love, attention, and care. The communication was excellent throughout, and Denise went above and beyond to make sure both Murphy and we felt at ease. We are incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Denise and her family to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter. Murphy can’t wait for his next stay!”

“Kathleen looked after our cat Penelope while we were away and I highly recommend her. I am a nervous cat mum and had never left her alone before so I was scared. Kathleen checked in on Penelope twice a day and sent pictures and updates allowing me to feel at ease and not worry. I will definitely use her again as she is trustworthy and a lovely genuine person. Perfect for a loved pet. I highly recommended this cat sitter. Thank you Kathleen!”
“Louise and her partner were absolutely brilliant! It was the first time I had ever left Rodney in hands of someone I never met before. He was super happy and excited to meet them and they reassured multiple times that he was ok, went to the toilet, fed him dinner & sent pictures of him out on a walk and in the garden so I was left at ease and able to enjoy my evening out for my partners birthday. Thank you both xx”
“Sherry looked after my cat for a week while I was on holiday. Jessie is nearly 18 and has not been left for over 10 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving her. Sherry was so reassuring and I felt she could be trusted to take care of Jessie, I could tell she was an animal lover. I received daily updates which was lovely and eased my worry enabling me to enjoy my holiday. Jessie had a few accidents in the house but Sherry cleared up all the mess. She also gave an additional update at the end of the week and left a diagram of where Jessie had her accidents. I would not hesitate to use Sherry again and highly reccomend her.”
About: Hi! My name is Gabby and I’m a newly qualified vet living in Hatfield. I love all animals and I’m very experienced working with and caring for dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with dogs and I have a very active 2 year old Labrador at home who loves long walks and playing with his ball! I also have experience with short term cat sitting whilst at university and I’ve always wanted to get my own cat. I have variable availability during the week and weekends, although I may need to leave in the day for a couple of hours. I’m very happy to house sit for up to a week.
About: If you’re looking for someone that puts quality care and respect at the forefront of the service they provide, for the cat, the owner and the property, you’re in luck! I am insured for peace of mind to everyone involved. Service details listed further down in my profile :) A bit about me: I have always been an animal lover, but cats are just unmatched! I get absolutely overjoyed getting to meet my friends’ cats so you can imagine how ecstatic I was when, after years of convincing, I finally got my own at the age of 15. My tuxedo, Kiko ❤️ I didn’t let anyone help me while he was a kitten, I wanted to take that responsibility myself and we developed such a special bond (I was clearly his favourite). I would even put a present under the tree for him on Christmas and celebrated every birthday of his with a mini cat-safe makeshift cake. He was only with us for 5 years due to developing terminal kidney problems, but he will always have a special place in my heart. I am so grateful to have had to opportunity to care for and spoil him, and I would love to do that for cats who really need it while their owners are away. You can trust me to treat your cat with the same care as I would my own (including knowing when they just want to be left alone😂).
About: I have taken care of dogs since very young. Starting with a family dog, a border collie, who we were lucky enough to have from a pup to 14! To now, I have a 3 year old vizlsa who I have had since 9weeks.. I have trained him since he was a tiny puppy and now have my very own Velcro dog! However if your fur baby prefers to be the only pet, I have my parents living local that love to take care of my Barney. I also look after friends dogs when they are away, these range in size and age from a 8 year old kelpie to a 2 year old cocker poo. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and will welcome them into my home like they are my own 🐶 I currently work as a serving firefighter, my shift pattern allows me a lot of time off. However each week is not the same for me, I work an 8 day rotation so each week is slightly different. Please feel free to message me with queries. I have a small securely fenced garden. I also have 3 different walks on my doorstep, some of which are very quiet! I also have a large crate/ bed that can be used if you wish.
“Mathilde is an exceptional cat sitter who took amazing care of Tink. Her love for cats shone through in every interaction, and she kept us updated with adorable photos, videos and informative messages each day. We’d happily leave Tink in Mathilde’s care again!”
About: I’ve been around cats since I was a teenager when I got my first one for my 13th birthday, and I’ve had cats in my life ever since. Over the years I’ve also looked after family and neighbours’ cats, including kittens, anxious cats, and cats with specific diets, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I’m DBS checked, have a full driving licence, and I’d describe myself as reliable, organised, and someone who naturally goes the extra mile. I follow instructions properly but I’m also sensible enough to adapt when needed, always putting the cat’s comfort first. If a cat is shy or hiding, I won’t force anything — I’ll give them space, let them get used to me, and let things happen in their own time. If they’re not eating properly, I’ll keep an eye, try gentle things, and always keep the owner updated. I genuinely love cats, and I care about making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and looked after while their owners are away :)
About: Available for multiple pop ins to check on your furry best friends. As I’ve had cats of different breeds for most of my life I am very experienced with looking after them including feeding and changing litter trays if needed. And of course I always have the dreamies on hand for a couple of treats and am ready to play and have some cat cuddles! I’m also able to support with medication administration if needed as well.
“Tilly provided great care while looking after my cat for few days, as a last-minute request. This was my 1st time booking Tilly but felt at ease leaving my cat, Poupette, in her hands. Her background as a veterinary nurse was especially reassuring, as Poupette had recently experienced some health issues. I would highly recommend Tilly for any pet care needs and I'm already in the process of rebooking her services.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own two cats since I a was a kid, my knowledge and love has only grown since. My baby girl Caspa was born in my house along with her 4 other siblings and her mum who was a stray we looked after. I am used to handling the sassy but affectionate personality of cats and also the feeding need required for cats (extra taurine). I will provide a clean environment and also can brush your cats teeth if needed. I also trained my cats only basic obedience, though they will only listen on their terms 😅. I love cats I can’t imagine a world without it out them!
“Really good with the cats and made sure they were very well cared for during our first trip away in four years. I felt calm knowing they were in good hands, despite one of the cats being quite shy and nervous around any new people. Highly recommended, and a genuinely nice person.”
“Hannah is a superstar and took amazing care of my two kittens. They are normally very shy towards people other than myself and partner, but by the end of the week they both let her stroke them and play with them! Feeling so lucky to have found Hannah.”

I am currently working part time, and have a lot of free-time during the weekdays and weekends.

About: I may not have professional experience as a sitter, but I’ve spent over 15 years caring for my own pets, rescue animals, and pets of friends and family. All of my animals have been rescues—found, saved, and given loving homes. I currently live with two cats, one stray who visits daily, and my sweet 8-year-old dog. I have a deep compassion for animals and a calm, gentle approach that helps pets feel safe and cared for. I understand their body language, respect their space, and treat each one as if they were my own. I work from home and run my own small business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Since I’m usually at home, I can provide regular attention, playtime, walks, and a calm presence—perfect for pets who need company or a consistent routine. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life, so it fits in easily with everything I do. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, we have a fully fenced, spacious garden for safe outdoor time, as well as plenty of cozy cat and dog beds, toys, and quiet spots for rest. I use GPS trackers during walks for added peace of mind, and I have a cat door for easy, secure access in and out. I’m also happy to share updates and photos, and I can use a pet camera if requested. Whether your pet stays with me or I visit your home, you can trust they’ll be cared for with love, attention, and a calm, safe environment.

“We rarely leave Cooper with anyone so I was a bit anxious about leaving him for the day. I didn’t need to worry! Abigail was happy for us to do a meet and greet beforehand and I could see that Cooper felt relaxed and happy with her. On the day Abigail sent me regular updates and photos and was flexible when I had to change the drop off time which I appreciated. Cooper clearly had a really good time and I would happily recommend Abigail.”
“Sarah looked Rocco for his first daycare day,Rocco is a nervous/anxious dog when first meeting anyone and Sarah coped very well and within a few hours we were sent pictures of him sitting on her lap and settled which was very reassuring.

How I care for pets (and your home) Your pet’s routine is my script. I follow your instructions exactly, feeding, meds, walk times, play, and quiet time, so cats and dogs feel safe and settled while you’re away. I’m gentle, tidy, and keep communication clear with notes and photo updates every visit. In your home (house sitting & drop-ins) Security first: I double-check doors, gates, windows and keep leads by the door. No visitors, no parties—ever. I respect your privacy and only use agreed areas. Calm, consistent routine: I match your pet’s normal schedule and preferred style (shy cats get quiet company; playful pets get enrichment).

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and truly love being around animals. I’ve had my own dog, Cooper, for seven years, so I understand how important it is to give dogs attention, exercise, and proper care. I’m confident with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and just making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Having looked after other dogs as well, I know how to adapt to different personalities and needs—whether they’re playful pups or calm cuddlers! I currently have a long summer in front of me before I go back to uni in September. I am flexible -in the holidays- weekdays and weekends, any time. I love spending time with dogs in their own home where they feel the happiest! I’ll stick to their usual routine so everything feels normal and cozy for them while you are away - making sure they get their meals and treats on time, go for fun walks, and have lots of playtime and cuddles. I’m there to keep their tails wagging and make sure they feel loved and safe.

About: Hi! My name is Gabby and I’m a newly qualified vet living in Hatfield. I love all animals and I’m very experienced working with and caring for dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with dogs and I have a very active 2 year old Labrador at home who loves long walks and playing with his ball! My flatmate at university has an elderly cocker spaniel who I’ve helped look after for 2 years so I’m comfortable looking after all sorts of dogs with different temperaments and needs. I’m also able to administer any medications your pet may need whilst you are away. I have variable availability during the week and weekends, although I may need to leave in the day for a couple of hours. I’m very happy to house sit for up to a week, and available for dog walking and doggy day care. I am very flexible for July and August and available for most weekdays and weekends with notice. I am able to dedicate the majority of the day to your pet and fit in to their needs. Having worked with dogs and cat for over 5 years, I have lots of experience with different temperaments of pets.

About: I have always grown up surrounded by animals and couldn’t not imagine a household without, they are what make a house complete! Cats and duds have always been apart of my life so where i can help others with there’s i’m more than happy to. I currently work from home monday to friday 9-6 so i am in most the time so i am available to tend to your animal as much as they need. on weekends i am around most the time as i do like to spend these relaxing so only the odd occasion would the animal be at home but not for long. When caring for a cat, whether in my home or the owner's, it's important to maintain their usual routine to help reduce stress. This includes feeding them at their regular times, refreshing their water daily, and cleaning the litter box at least once a day. Cats also need social interaction, so spending time playing, petting, or simply sitting with them can help keep them happy and engaged which is exactly what i offer. If the cat requires medication or has special needs, administering care as instructed by the owner is essential and i am happy to follow this. Over time i have also learnt it’s important to respect their space by keeping things clean and secure. If the cat is staying in my hime, I provide a quiet, safe area with familiar items like their bed, toys, or a scratching post to help them feel comfortable.

“A five star rating says it all really...getting updates and seeing how happy Noodle looked helped us relax and enjoy ourselves. Thanks Catherine (and family), we'll be back. 🤗”
“Harry, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, had a wonderful time staying with Sarah. He loved her other Cavaliers and enjoyed great walks and lots of cuddles. He was so chilled when we arrived back to pick him up that he barely lifted his head from the comfiest, softiest bean bag that I've ever seen! We had a wonderful holiday knowing that Harry was being cared for with kindness and love. We can't thank you enough and look forward to seeing you soon!”
“Wonderful experience with Mylinh who got along famously with Ezra, immediately putting him at ease and making him feel at home. We were thrilled with how well she got to know Ezra and look after his needs and we received many detailed updates (including pictures) which really put our minds at ease. Will definitely look to use Mylinh again and would fully recommend.”

About: I may not have professional experience as a sitter, but I’ve spent over 15 years caring for my own pets, rescue animals, and pets of friends and family. All of my animals have been rescues—found, saved, and given loving homes. I currently live with two cats, one stray who visits daily, and my sweet 8-year-old dog. I have a deep compassion for animals and a calm, gentle approach that helps pets feel safe and cared for. I understand their body language, respect their space, and treat each one as if they were my own. I work from home and run my own small business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Since I’m usually at home, I can provide regular attention, playtime, walks, and a calm presence—perfect for pets who need company or a consistent routine. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life, so it fits in easily with everything I do. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, we have a fully fenced, spacious garden for safe outdoor time, as well as plenty of cozy cat and dog beds, toys, and quiet spots for rest. I use GPS trackers during walks for added peace of mind, and I have a cat door for easy, secure access in and out. I’m also happy to share updates and photos, and I can use a pet camera if requested. Whether your pet stays with me or I visit your home, you can trust they’ll be cared for with love, attention, and a calm, safe environment.

“Ethan was fantastic from the initial communications all the way through to the end of Daphne’s stay. Ethan catered to all our requirements and gave lots of lovely updates to let me know how she was getting on. Daphne was clearly well looked after and loved so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

Your pet will not be left alone for long periods, and I can adjust my routine to match their normal schedule as closely as possible.

About: I’ve been doing dog sitting through borrow my doggy and rover for the last 6 years in London, I’ve just moved to St Albans with my partner and we both work hybrid, so have plenty of time on our hands for your furry friends. Very good with keeping to training and routine. I have had dogs and cats all of my life, but taken care in a professional sense over the last few years. I am currently working from home most of the week, as does my partner. We see this as a great excuse to get out for walks and explore the local area. I have a very safe flat within a gated community, I’m always able to keep an eye on dogs and my partner is regularly here too to help (she is also an experienced dog sitter). We move all plants out of the pets way when they are visiting and we are very close to a large park. Happy to provide pup dates and do facetime tours of the house if needed.
“It was such a relief leaving Molly in the hands of Leanne, her wonderful family and gorgeous dog Sunny. Molly is quite an anxious little thing and knowing she was happy staying with them was brilliant! I couldn’t be happier with her care and highly recommend. X”
