About: Hello, I'm Vicky, owner of 2 cats, Owen & Ruby. They're brother and sister, one rules upstairs and the other downstairs! I’ve been around cats almost my whole life, from getting my first one at 12 years old and looking after neighbours' and family cats before then. I am currently on maternity leave & may need to bring my baby with me. If you have any questions, please ask!

“Diana was a lovely lady and my girls took to her immediately. She was prompt and friendly too.”

“I met with Grace for a meet and greet, Grace was a very polite young lady, asked lots of questions about how to best look after my babies, I left the meet and greet with a very good feeling, on the days Grace looked after my babies in my own home, she did an amazing job, she took very good care of them, and even still sent a message of things she wasn't sure about, Grace sent videos of walking them I would definitely book again in the future with Grace and highly recommend her for looking after your babies”

“It was really reassuring to have Eva looking after Hamish at home while we enjoyed a day out. She kept us updated and took Hamish for a long walk. Everything was in perfect order when we got home.”

About: I am a long-time cat owner and animal lover living in North East England. I am currently studying as a fine art student, but in my spare time I like to offer my services as a dedicated cat carer. I love cats for their independent and unpredictable personalities, as well as the truly unique love that they offer to the humans who care for them. I have owned cats since I was eight years old and currently have a little black moggy living with me.

About: I love looking after dogs and am always the go to dog sitter out of all my friends. I have been a dog owner myself, and love caring for dogs. I love all animals, and I'm happy to do drop-ins for any type of animal - other than spiders, I'm terrified of them! I work full time from home so will have lots of availability to support during the week and I am around on some weekends too. I have a fenced garden that is very secure so the dogs will have lots of opportunity to go outside. Adult only home with no other animals.

About: I feel like i was a cat in a previous life. They mean everything to me. I have had cats & dogs all of my life and iv worked in a cat rescue centre which i Absolutely LOVED !! Caring for your pets while your away is my number 1 priority. Not only will i feed & clean. I love to spend some special one on one time with them so when i leave your home, they feel are relaxed and happy. I am self employed so i am able to fit my personal work and my pet care work into a schedule to suit everyones needs. I am an excellent treat giver & cuddler. Your pets will be loved asif they were my own when they are in my care. Let in/out, clean bowls, feed and fresh water, clean any mess, brush, cuddles, fuss and playtime, clean litter tray and any other duties. All surfaces and items touched, will be sanitised and cleaned before we leave. Taking your pooches for walks will be full of fun and tail waggles. We are fully insured, DBS checked and pet first aid trained.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a baby. Growing up my grandparents also owned parrots, bunnies, dogs of all sizes, cats, tortoises, fish, you name it…my parents always had dogs and cats. I also owned a dog for 11 years. I feel most comfortable around animals :) Being an older sister of 3, I grew up being the responsible one, caretaker and I’d also walk the dogs, train them, feed them and help my parents in any way I could. When I adopted my first own dog, I learned how much love I have to give and how much responsibility it takes to look after a furbaby. He was very anxious and reactive, so it was 11 years of learning and challenges, but he was the sweetest and goodest boy, right up until the end. I’m currently working full-time. For now I’m looking to combine my love for animals and building up a side income during my free time. I’m happy to look after and walk your pets during my free time on the weekends. I can drive which allows me to get to places a bit further out. I cannot have pets in my own home sadly. However, I’m happy to come in and check on your kitten or pooch while you’re away. I can also pet sit if needed and play with, feed and walk your dogs. I can also train and teach your dog (or cat, if they feel like it haha) some tricks. Work on their confidence by using gentle rewards and lots of patience on their walks. I have experience with reactive dogs and I know how important it is to maintain comfort and special care for the sensitive pups.

“This was the second time Louise looked after Buddy, and yet again she did a brilliant job. She kept us updated daily so we were able to enjoy our weekend break, with confidence that Buddy was in very kind and capable hands. Thanks a million Louise! We will undoubtedly use your services again!”

“Tim was brilliant with Lily who can be difficult sometimes. She instantly took to him. His education and experience working with dogs is evident as he really knows his stuff. Tim came for a visit a few days before house sitting and instantly put me at ease and left me feeling confident that he was the right man to care for our dog and house. We came back to happy dog and a lovely clean house, even the bedding had been washed! I would highly recommend Tim to anybody looking for a dog sitter.”

“João is a fantastic cat sitter, great to communicate with and he knows cats really well. So happy to leave our beloved Dandelion with João. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals, training young ones and tending to injuries or ongoing needs. From terriers and spaniels to farm felines and couch cats, and most inbetween. I don't have my own at home now, and have been boarding or walking for friends to fill the fluff shaped gap. Keen to share my space more often and give a safe spot to play and rest while owners are away, or just for walkies and check ins. I'm fair and fun with dogs, love to make their brain and nose work with hide & seek games. Cats are royalty and so entitled to their own agenda; no pressure from me to make fast friends unless they want to play or come for cuddles. I'm in and around most of the day, taking time work on some passion projects at home. Often find myself in the park or a cafe, boarders very welcome to accompany me! One evening per week I work out of the house for 2-4 hours, which can be worked around. I've worked in support for many years, and see sitting quite the same! If visiting their home, first off cover the basics of food, water, access to outside and play. Keeping the environment safe and clean, noticing signs of distress and adapting to what they need as much as possible. At home, there's comfy places to curl up and space to play. The kitchen is ideal for a quiet area to eat and decompress if they need it, with managed access to the yard. I have a fenced yard with a shrubby boarder for toilet and run around time. Some access to neighbours' lawn.

About: I hold a degree in Animal Science and experience in training. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs, through work and for family and friends for over 10 years. I have always had a massive passion and love for dogs. Your pets will be treated like family and will receive 5 star care. You will receive Updates through photos and videos. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to give too your beloved pets, we pride our self's on giving your dog the best experiences full of fun and adventures. I have a fenced garden where your dogs can go to the toilet. Walks will be in safe locations away from roads and dangers. Dogs can be crated if needed. We will work to meet your individual needs.

“Absolutely amazing! They did such a good job of looking after Woody, we got updates daily, pictures down to the littlest detail of how he was doing! We were able to meet them a few days beforehand so they could meet our pup and he could be introduced, and we couldn’t be happier! 10/10, I’d definitely recommend them and book again!”

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a young child. I grew up with collies, lab and staffie mixes, and rescue cats. I currently have a very dog friendly cat if you are looking for some socialisation, but she is equally happy doing her own thing if you would prefer they remain separate. I work from home with access to a secure garden, and woodland walks only a couple of minutes from my house. I'm available all days, evenings and weekends with notice. I have a pet cat who is friendly with dogs, however she has her own secure room in the house where she can retreat to if she needs to. I have a fenced garden and a dog-friendly cat, however she can be secured away in a different part of the house if necessary. I have a crate that can be used if necessary. I drive and I am located within easy reach of several 24 hour veterinary practices.

“Charlotte looked after my dogs while I went away. She kept me updated on how they were getting on. I would definitely have Charlotte look my dogs again. Thank you”

About: I have grown up rurally and have owned or cared for in the past cats, and looked after dogs. I have provided dog walking and company for elderly dogs. I currently don’t have pets and miss the company, so I have set up this new account. I’m looking forward to meeting your dog. :) I work from home flexibly. So any in home care for your pets I will be available all day every day during the week for company. I also walk three times a day and will be happy to adjust my routine to suit pets and personalise their care. I will be available for company all day for your pets. I do not drink alcohol and am a quiet person spending time at home, or in nature. Your pet will have a relaxed time with me with a lot of attention.

About: Experienced dog‑lover returning to Rover after some time away. I am currently in the process of moving home, I will only be accepting requests from previous owners and dogs. Pet First Aid trained and confident with a range of temperaments — your dog will be in safe, caring hands. I'm really lucky to work hybrid and flexibility 90% of my week. I am more than happy to work with parents to ensure that any alone time is limited and that their dog has the best stay possible. I’d like to think that you are getting a quality service where your dog is treated as my own and will be taken on quality nature walks whilst in my care.
