“Kerri was absolutely brilliant with our puppy, Paulie who loved spending the day with her. She is very trustworthy, down to earth and loves animals. Received plenty of photos throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her”
2. Philippa T.
“Thank you for looking after my precious boy. Louie seemed to have enjoyed himself and was fast asleep when I got home, so he clearly had fun. Thank you for making me feel at ease with the pics throughout the day too. It’s great to know he’s in safe hands!”
3. Cobie K.
“Cobie looked after our terriers for two weeks in our home. He was gentle, respectful and competent and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask him for further support.”
4. Shaheen R.
“We would definitely hire Shaheen to look after Honey again. You can tell she adores dogs and loves spending time with them. She left our house as she found it and was great at keeping in contact and sending photos. I'm sure Honey enjoyed her weekend with Shaheen.”
5. Jane P.
“Brilliant sitter for my very bouncy golden retriever. Was really great with him and played lots and took the time to understand all of his routine. Thankyou very much Jane”
6. Tyrone S.
“We loved having Tyrone watch our dog Maya. He watched Maya for two days whilst we had friends in town and he really made sure to keep me updated with how Maya was doing. It was lovely to see how Maya warmed up to him and we will continue to use him for Maya as we have full trust in him!”
7. LaAsia L.
“La Asia utterly adores my boy Teddy and he in turn adores her, which is a testimony to her patience and effort to understand His Lordship who is generally timid of strangers. Thank you for always being available to look after Teddy, even at short notice when I’ve had emergencies. You’re amazing!”
8. Aimee Y.
“Aimee sat for an afternoon with our two rescue greyhounds. She had a very calming presence and it was clear that both dogs felt comfortable with her very quickly. We also arranged a meet and greet beforehand which helped to put my mind at rest! We look forward to booking Aimee again.”
9. Nina B.
“Nina was absolutely great! We got regular updates on our cat Mint. Who really took to Nina, she loves hanging out with people but doesn’t normally get on their laps. Was very happy on our return. Nina was very flexible and helped out with some deliveries, which we were most grateful for and also helped with watering and left the house immaculate. We’ll be in touch for any future house sits- Nina was a superstar!”
10. Jade M.
“Perfect from the get-go. Bentley enjoyed his second time with Jade, their first overnight stop together. Jade was extremely accommodating with the start time (early morning flights!) and turned up with a smile on her face. Lots of updates were received and we can tell Bentley enjoyed all the adventures he had over the weekend! On our return, Jade provided us with a debrief of how the weekend went, which was great to hear. Bentley went straight to the door after Jade had left, his indication that someone who’s company he enjoys has just left!”
11. Timothy L.
“Fabulous! Tim looked after our dogs and house beautifully. The dogs loved him and his attention to detail with their care was amazing. He was also wonderfully understandable and flexible when our flight was delayed due to weather conditions, ensuring that the everything was under control and we could journey back stress free. Can't rate him highly enough!”
12. Izel O.
“Izel is a fantastic sitter; she is very responsive, helpful and was very attentive with my dog, whilst taking great care of my house. She was very caring to my dog, who is nervous on walks and even managed to take him on a really long one. Definitely recommend Izel”
13. Levi O.
“Amber the dog loves staying with Levi! Amber is a nervous dog who requires someone to be attentive to her needs and triggers. Levi was very generous with their time and attention to get to know Amber with me before taking on caring for her. They were aware of the kinds of needs that anxious dogs have and asked lots of questions about Amber and gave me all the information I needed to assess if their home was suitable for Amber to stay. They have been happy to make arrangements in their home to ensure Amber is as comfortable as she can be. They’ve also travelled to my home to help me out by walking her. They love a long walk with Amber! When they look after Amber they give me regular updates about how Amber was getting on and have been flexible with timings of pick up and drop off. Amber always appears really relaxed when I’m reunited with her - which is a good sign she’s been well cared for! They clearly love dogs and bring a lot of care to their work. I’m very glad Amber has someone she loves to stay with and that Levi is someone I trust with her!”
14. Daisie R.
“Daisie is really great with Nugget, this time round poor Nugget had an injury and we were completely relaxed knowing she was being look after by Daisie who Nugget loves and who made her feel very comfortable for the evening.”
15. Chloe P.
“Chloe looked after my 2 dogs when I went on holiday earlier this year. Unfortunately on of my dogs became quite poorly whilst they were in her care. Chloe took great care of him and kept me fully informed of his progress all the time. Being a vet nurse she knows her stuff and I was very happy for her to act as my agent. She walked the dogs every day and sent me lots of photos of them enjoying their time with her. I have no reservations in recommending Chloe .”
16. Gemma V.
“I've known Gemma for many years and she has always been a dog lover, owning three gorgeous dogs. Two of Gemma's dogs are rescues, removed from very unhappy situations and now thriving in her love and care. Any dog in Gemma's care will be safe and thoroughly spoiled!”
17. Olivia A.
“Olivia has looked after my German shepherd on many occasions. She is attentive and loving with him. She exercises him at least twice a day. He also loves his ba so she plays with him too. Whenever I have been unable to drop him off she has offered to collect him and drop him off. I trust her completely with my very much loved dog and my home. I would highly recommend her.”
18. Gracie W.
“Gracie is amazing with my 2 sausage dogs, she looks after them at my house for holidays, she walks them 4 x a week, and they are so excited whenever they know she is coming to take them out. I would not use anybody else, she literally looks after them like they are her own dogs. She is very safety conscious and I trust her 100%. 5 ⭐️ from us!”
19. James H.
“James was great with Spike who is anxious with new people. He took it all in his stride at our meet and greet and was confident and calm. James was flexible on timings and even came a bit earlier than planned at short notice. We came home to a happy dog. We will definitely book James again. Recommended 😀”
20. Sze Ling C.
About: I live in a flat with my partner, Tuan, who is also a pet lover! We both have many years of experience caring for pets, started when we were kids! My friends have relied on me to pet-sit whenever they’re on holiday, and most pet owners describe me as 'patient' - with that said I always make sure that their needs are met at that time! I have experience sitting pets of various ages from 8 months old to 13 years old, so I am extremely comfortable in handling their needs. Depending on the needs of our furry friends, my energy can be matched. If they are high energy that requires long walks, let's run to the park! And if they are laid back, let's just chill by the sofa/bench with a nice book and cuppa :) On top of meeting their needs, I make sure they are kept clean at all times, meaning making sure their paws and pee-pee are wiped down after walks to get any mud/grass seeds, and to brush their coats whenever needed. I am also a great communicator, I always make sure to send pet-owners regular photos and/or videos during our activities and any alarming behaviours that need attention. I've also ended up becoming really good friends with one of the pet-owners I've met on Rover, which means I get to see/look after our furry friend a lot more regularly :) BIG win! All-in-all, I attend to their needs. If there's a strict schedule, I will always try to shift things around and accommodate it. My partner and I both work remotely most days, so we will be able to attend to the pets needs at all times. I am an early riser, so I am usually good to take your furry friend out for a walk whilst it’s still less crowded on the pavement/in the park. My partner and I also enjoy evening walks after dinner, so rest assured that our friend will have the chance to do his/her final wee of the day before bed. I have several parks near my flat so those are great areas for them to roam and play! I have a large space and living room at home. The pet would have a good amount of space to walk around to enjoy themselves whilst I work. I am also comfortable with allowing our friends to sleep, lay in my bed if that’s needed. There are also many areas to walk around where I live - Victoria Park, London Fields, Weavers Fields, Bethnal Green Gardens, Museum Greens, Paradise Gardens, Haggerston Park etc. this allows our furry friend ample amounts of spots to visit!!
