“I highly recommend Ed as a dog sitter. He looked after my cockapoo overnight and was great at communicating and giving me updates throughout. My dog was returned to me very happy and very tired! Thank you 😁”
“Thaís and Marina once again took wonderful care of our Indie. They kept us up to date in our WhatsApp chat of photos, videos and updates on what she was up to and how she was doing. They take such great care to make sure she is settled as an anxious dog and I know she is in great hands with them. I feel super lucky to have found them both for when we go on holiday! Indie seems to have the best time too and has slept the whole day since being home 😁”
“Merve was amazing! It was our first time using Rover for a pet sitter, and although our pup can be fearful with strangers, Merve and her family made him feel completely at home. I felt at ease leaving Benji with them because I saw the care and patience they had in helping him settle in. Communication was great, and the photo updates very much appreciated. I highly recommend Merve and would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs for most of my life, and have been trusted and relied on many times to look after my friend’s dogs. I am a freelancer so I work from home, so I am incredibly flexible. Working from home means I am very happy for the chance to go on long walks with your dog! The flat is a medium sized ground floor flat, meaning quick access to the outside if needed. The back yard is a communal astro-turfed lawn/space, enclosed by a gated fence, closeby to several grassy spaces and parks.
“I had to find a last minute cat sitter and Gulsum very kindly agreed to have my cat in her home for the day. She was so welcoming, nice and friendly and very obviously loves animals! She was also looking after a little dog and I could see how happy he was to be there with her. I felt very comfortable and confident leaving Reg the cat with her. She sent me pictures and a video to keep me updated. I would definitely ask her to pet sit again. What a genuinely lovely person.”
“Dizzee loved his stay with Naoko! She sent plenty of updates and photos throughout, which was really appreciated and put our minds at ease. He was happy and settled the whole time. We’d book again in a heartbeat!”
“Jerry had an amazing time with Katherine and Matt. He got lots of walks and love, and I got lots of updates about how he was getting on. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog 🐶”
“Wen Min was an excellent sitter to Cashew. She watched him for 2 weeks while we were travelling. She asked many questions about Cashew & let him get to know her ahead of staying. She was incredibly communicative with lots of sweet photos & videos - as well as reached out if she had any concerns. We would definitely trust Wen Min to watch Cashew again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dog Hermes while we were away on holiday. Angela was kind, reliable, and made sure Hermes got his medication every single day, which gave us great peace of mind. He looked happy and well when we came back, and it was clear he had been in loving hands. Angela has such a warm and caring energy — we’re truly grateful for the attention she gave him, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Sav loves her sitters! We were sent lovely photos, which we really appreciated as was our very first time leaving her. She came home relaxed and well cared for. We love that they have such affection for her and it really put our minds at ease that they provide a loving warm environment. Thank you for taking such great care of her 🐾🤍!”
About: I have owned dogs since I was 10 years old and have experience dealing with a wide array of breeds and temperaments. Growing up in the Irish countryside, we had high-energy boarder collies (5 over the years) who needed a lot of stimulation and exercise throughout the day. My partner James and I now live in London with our Labrador-Spaniel cross, Tayto, who is 5 years old. We have a big flat 2 minutes walk from Finsbury Park where we take him most days to play ball, sniff out interesting smells and run around. We're also close to Clissold Park, Chestnuts Park, The Parkland Walk and Woodbury Wetlands so there are plenty of options for outdoor activities at any given time of the day! Tayto was crate trained as a puppy so we are comfortable working with dogs who follow the same routine, however he is now allowed on the furniture and your dog will be too! We are very comfortable with all breeds and needs and look forward to meeting your four legged friend and getting to know them better. If your dog prefers more solo time, we can take pick them up at your home and drop them back, however for any dog-sitting in our home, they will need to be happy around our dog Tayto who is medium sized (22kg). I work from home at least 3-4 days per week and my partner James is at home for the other 2 days of the working week so there is always someone around. We have pretty flexible schedules so just let us know what your needs are and we can accommodate as much as possible. We are currently only accepting requests Monday-Friday but there is potential to accept weekend requests on a case by case basis in the future. Important: If staying in our home your dog dog must be comfortable being around another medium sized dog. We have a 5yr old labrador/spaniel cross called Tayto who we take out for walks 3 x per day so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise. We crate trained Tayto from 8 weeks old (though he now sleeps in his bed/on the sofa) so are comfortable sticking to that routine if needed for your pet. We can administer medication and are very familiar with using various mental stimulation methods for dogs who are particularly high-energy and need more than just a walk/ball thrown for them!
“Lok is lovely and she's providing daily updates of activities and pictures 😍. I will definitely book her again in the future and will absolutely recommend her to any other dog owner. Thanks a lot again for looking after Velvet!”
“My dog Ruby had a fun packed time staying with Wen Hei It went very smoothly with lots of up dates I am very happy to recommend her and hope to book her again in the future Jenny”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I myself owned two rescue dogs from that age, so am experienced with nervous dogs with separation anxiety. Over the years I have done several dog sits for family friends and strangers over the summers. I currently work from home 4 days a week and live near a beautiful reservoir so have plenty of time and a lovely area to walk dogs. I have a large open plan living room and kitchen with plenty of space for a dog. Other than that a whole lot of love to give as I’m missing my own dogs!
“The perfect sitter! My cat was well looked after with Arina and came back even calmer than I left him, as his first time being away from home I couldn’t recommend her enough to make your pets feel safe & comfortable. Great with updates and response times too. Thank you☺️”
“First night away from us, but Adriana was a wonderful host and he soon settled in and made himself at home. adriana kept me updated with photos and it was very clear when we collected him that he had had a lovely time.”
“Jennifer was incredible in taking care of our fur baby, which is a puppy! Leaving Bonnie for 12 days wasn’t easy, but with Jennifer’s regular updates we felt more at ease! Jennifer’s two little boys were lovely with Bonnie, keeping her busy with lots of playing and cuddles! Will def be returning!”

“Zoe was amazing and I would absolutely have her watch our cat Doja when we are away next! On top of food, water, litter, etc. each day, she made sure to stay and give our cat tons of affection and brushing. She was always quick to respond which put my mind at ease and would consistently send updates, photos, and videos. ”
“Bronwen goes above and beyond to meet all of my little cats needs. She is a very respectful and thoughtful house guest. She communicates actively with updates about the kitties and to top it all off she is an excellent cat portrait photographer so you end the week with a wonderful portfolio. ”
“Excellent experience with Naomi as always - for us and the cat! Naomi gives our cat Bella lots of time and attention when she visits, and we come home to a happy and relaxed kitty :)”

“Julia looked after our cat while we are away. She was great overall. Very professional and easy to communicate. She provided regular updates and sent pictures. It looked like our cat enjoyed her company as well. We highly recommend Julia.”

“Susan again did a fantastic job of caring for Lola and Stashie. They both love having her come and take care of them Stashie needs daily medication for his diabetes and I can always rely on Susan to make sure his needs are met. Huge thanks again Susan! ”
“Grace was an excellent cat sitter - very thorough and professional which was really appreciated as our cat has been experiencing a few health issues. It was very reassuring to know that Inkie was in safe hands. Grace gained Inkie's trust very quickly, gave her excellent care and communicated regularly with us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. ”
“Mike was excellent - clear and quick communication to make arrangements, and detailed updates on our cat's condition while we were away. We came home to a happy and chilled out cat, who obviously enjoyed the company and play time provided by Mike. Will definitely contact Mike again the next time we're planning to be away.”
About: I have been a dog carer for 5 years. I have taken care of my dog Lola since she was a puppy where i have trained her and taken care of her regularly. I have now moved away from home so would love to see your dog and help out as much as possible :) I’ve got a range of experience looking after small and big dogs with many different breeds! I am very trustworthy and I’m not just doing this for money it’s also about my passion for dogs. Please get in contact! I work from home 3/4 days a week so can easily fit it in my schedule. i am always around a lot on weekends so am very available to suit you! I have a fenced garden with a lot of space for the dog to play/go for the toilet. Also the dog is allowed in all rooms of my house, we have lots of space.
“Abigail has been our cat sitter for nearly a year now and we cannot recommend her enough. She is a lovely and extremely reliable person who takes such good care of our two cats. Whenever we come home they are always really calm and content. It makes going away that much easier knowing they’re being left in a safe pair of hands.”
“Gemma has taken good care of our cat Star twice now and we would book her again! She’s reliable, responsive and consistent. I always appreciate her updates. Thank you for looking after our girl”
“Sabina was wonderful! When my plans unexpectedly changed, she stepped in to take care of my kitten and even stayed overnight when I asked. When I returned home, my cat seemed happy, healthy, and very well cared for. I really appreciated her kindness and reliability and would happily ask her for help again! ☺️”

“What a great introduction to the app! Troy loved his stay with Bianca, so much so, I had to convince him to leave. This was our first time leaving our 4 month old Cavapoo with anyone, so we were nervous finding someone at first. The nerves went when we had a video call with Bianca a week before the booking. She was bubbly and confident and clearly experienced with dogs. On the day of the booking, Troy was received with lots of hugs. Bianca provided pics and updates throughout the stay, which was a really nice touch. Will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommended. Thank you Bianca!”
“Our little shy and a bit nervous poodle princess had a great time with Ludovica. She made her feel at home straight away and she relaxed quickly. Ludovica is an excellent sitter and I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you!”

“Thank you! Two lovely humans who really care and our little guy was happy with Francesca, she gave me reassurance in advance and kept me updated as the first day of daycare went by. We will be asking for your help again and really appreciate you being calm and caring with Rod Stewart!”
About: Hi, I’m Elvie, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mum to two French Bulldogs, George and Harry. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else because I’m exactly the same with my own boys. Every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, happy and comfortable in my care. I have experience with nervous and anxious dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency and building trust at their pace. Whether your dog loves long walks, gentle strolls, playtime or simply company and reassurance, I’ll tailor my care to suit them. Your dog will be treated like one of my own, with plenty of affection, attention and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I offer dog walking, drop in visits and daycare in the Hornsey, Crouch End and surrounding areas, and I’d love to meet you and your furry family member. I work four days a week, but I’m excited to fit pet care into my routine. My schedule changes weekly, but I’m flexible and available for mornings and evenings. Just reach out, and we can coordinate our schedules to find something that works perfectly for both of us and your furry friend! My home is secure and pet-friendly, with a gated garden that provides a safe space for dogs to play. I also have two French Bulldogs who are super friendly with other dogs and love having new friends around. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and will work closely with you to tailor their care to their specific needs, ensuring they’re happy and well looked after while they’re with me.
“Suting is absolutely amazing with dogs and Bruno loves spending time with her, he is always very happy to see her:) Suting always takes such a good care of Bruno and I am very grateful. Could not recommend Suting enough.”
“Xanthé was kind and professional and responded quickly to set things up. She has a lovely dog friendly home and a garden and was understanding when I needed to change the drop off time. Stevie had a great time with her!”
“Phoebe looked after Alfie in doggy day care and he loved it! He’s an anxious little boy so takes time to warm up to people but he was always so excited to see her at the start of the day! We got lots of photo and video updates throughout the day to see how much fun he was having! Alfie would definitely love to stay with Phoebe again in the future xx😊”
“If I could give Min 20 stars I would 💯. On our 1st meet with her my fluffy frenchy puppy took to her calm loving nature straight away (Which is very unknown of puppy as most of the time she doesn’t take to anyone straight away lol) I took to Min too as she has a beautiful spirit. On the 1st day that Min had puppy, puppy settled in very well and the became great friends 🥰 and have been ever since! She takes her out for walks and sends pictures of them having snuggles she also keeps me updated all throughout the day which is really nice🥰 I highly recommend Min to other owners as she is excellent with dogs! Thank you min for helping me look after my babies with love and care. And so happy that we found you! You are the best 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️💕💕”
“Great sitter. Was very prompt on replying and helping out at such short notice. She sent pics and videos and both dogs looked comfortable when I went to collect them. Definitely would recommend.”
About: I hold 10 years of experience in Dog/Cat care. A little bit of info about me, we have a family Siberian husky in whom I absolutely adore & has allowed me to understand body language and dog behaviour and genuinely read what they require. My main approach is just being able to provide a lot love and attention! with the daily walks if needed. Although my husky now lives with my parents since I’ve recently moved out, that experience has given me a strong understanding of what your pet may need to feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’d like to continue providing that care to other pets, as it's such a warming experience. I have also done nursing, so I am happy to adiminstrate medication if required. I’m currently working from home / part time. So I am Flexible. I go into the office on Mondays, though this can change. If you let me know what days and times you need, I can check my schedule and will usually be able to accommodate if it aligns. Please provide enough notice as this helps to ensure my availability is free I provide calm, attentive care. Just let me know what your pet is like to understand their personality and ill ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take a patient and gentle approach , allowing them to build trust at their own pace.
About: I am absolutely in love with dogs - I am that person who's already side eyeing your dog from a mile off looking for a pet! I drive my partner mad pointing out every dog I see on the street and dropping to the floor looking for a cuddle 😁 Unfortunately, I'm unable to afford having my own dog at the moment and don't live close to my family's dogs so, rarely see them and would love the opportunity to give yours the best time! I've had dogs my whole life. Then, I started dogsitting for a friend a couple of times a week back in 2021. I would collect her, walk her and have her stay over several times a week and I did this for around 3 years. Then, I went travelling and volunteered at a dog sanctuary for a month on the Galapagos Islands. There I worked with strays; cleaning up after them, washing and pampering them and giving them a lot of TLC. I was working long hours with up to 30 dogs! Since coming back to London, I've babysat my family's dogs over week stints whilst the family is away. I hope my experience and love for dogs speaks for itself! I work fully remotely. I don't have a meeting heavy job so, my days are flexible and I can easily schedule my routine around the pets needs. I also live in between two parks which are easily accessible within a 10 minute walk so, it's easy to go for a dog walk at the drop of a hat if needs be! I live with my partner who also predominantly works from home and therefore the dog would never be left at home alone! I live in the ground floor of a maisonette. We have a concreted garden space with some greenery which can be used for wee wees and poops. It is secure with high fences and no openings where they could espace. We also live on a quiet residential road without a lot of traffic.
“We booked Holly to look after my parents dog Eric. He is a highly energetic springer spaniel. Holly was friendly and professional and gave us confidence with her relaxed persona that we'd made a really good choice leaving him with her. We had let her know in advance that we might like to leave him slightly later than we had booked and in relation to this she was flexible and happy to accommodate. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend Holly to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog and she would certainly be our first point of contact if in need of someone to look after Eric again.”
“Allison and Kally got on so well. When I dropped her off, Kally was almost asking me to leave! And she was very excited to see her the second time. Very happy to have found Allison.”
About: I have experience looking after my sister’s medium sized Staffy mongrel for long periods of time (3 weeks) in this flat. I have also looked after smaller dogs like yorkie-poo who stayed with me for 3 weeks as well. Both owners went on a long holiday. I work from home, live on my own so would be lovely to have a furry friend to keep me company, and for me to keep them company too! I wish that I could have my own dog full time, but I am too busy for that responsibility at this point in my life! So dog sitting will fill that gap. I have grown up most of my life with dogs, and have always looked after other people’s. Heard about rover through my friend who also does the same, and she gets regular dogs come and stay, which is exactly what I would love! I currently work full time but I can take your dog on a long morning walk, or a lunch time walk. I’m very routined so if I’m a regular sitter, he/ she will be walked same time with me. I prefer early morning walks :) I have a fenced garden for the daily wee and poos depending on how often the doggo needs to go. I have a very clean and tidy house and lots of places the doggo can curl up and rest/ chill :)
About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood where I grew up with a golden retriever called Shandy who was the love of my life. I've looked after both giant and small breeds for friends and family over the years. Whether it's a gentle giant who enjoys long walks or a smaller dog who prefers a cosy lap and plenty of attention, I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine. I'm reliable, calm and caring, and I'll treat your dog as if they were my own. Having worked in professional client-facing roles throughout my career and now as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I'm naturally patient, attentive and good at building trust – qualities that dogs (and their owners!) seem to appreciate. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, providing regular walks, playtime and plenty of companionship. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how your dog is getting on. Whether your dog loves adventure, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member. I work as a self-employed part-time counsellor offering zoom sessions so I am home all day and have plenty of time to give your doggy the love and attention it needs to get exercise and cuddles. For doggy day care, I live right next to Ally Pally so perfect for your baby to get lots of exercise. I am at home all day as I'm a counsellor by trade and work online so your pooch would get plenty of cuddles and love whilst staying with me. I also have a small fenced courtyard they can use. I live in a maisonette so can only offer doggy day care from home but can do overnight stays in your home if you are going to be away. The maisonette has a staircase so your doggy must be okay with stairs or happy to be carried. For overnight stays I understand how important routine is for dogs, so I'll maintain the schedule they're used to . I've cared for both giant and small breeds and appreciate that every dog is different. Some enjoy long walks and adventures, while others prefer a gentler pace and a comfortable spot to relax. I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs, personality and energy levels. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy and well looked after while you're away.

About: Over the years with big family, I've grown up with lots of pets, such as cats, dogs, rabbits, geckos. This has led to me taking up pet sitting and dog walking over the years part time to keep me involved with pets. Animals tend to take a liking to me and vice versa. I am well skilled in understanding the temperament of animals and how to navigate their moods. For personal circumstances stances right now I am not in place to have my own pets but definitely will when the time permits of it, hence rover and looking to be around animals as much as possible! I genuinely love animals and the outdoors and feel rover is a great place to offer my services for the busy working animal mums and dads who need additional help. A day in care with me would be as close to a normal day for your pet as possible, following your guidelines and routine. Including of course, lots of interaction, play, attention and love, whether it’s a walk, sit, or quick drop in to check up and fill up their bowls! Currently my work schedule is extremely flexible which allows me to use this platform for additional purposes. I am an active person in general and usually go for long works everyday regardless. I now and then check on cats for family members during the week from time to time. Pet care is essential and I do my best to ensure a safe environment for pets when in my personal care or adhering to the owners environment, schedule and daily habits / routines to keep things as normal, safe and as fun as possible for your pets. Engagement, interaction, attention and care are all key for me which your pet can expect!
“Julia is the best! Julia very kindly came to visit me and Maurice before the booking and asked lots of great questions. I love to see all the really great pictures after the walk. Julia is very trustworthy with my keys and I highly recommend her!”
“Maks has been so great with Rui, very patient calm and kind. Taking time to get to know him and reassure him as he was quite anxious and barky for the first couple of visits. We will gladly recommend him to others. Wonderful !”
About: Hello! I’m Danielle, a huge animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up, my mother ran a dog-sitting business, so our home was always full of furry visitors. Over the years I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds including Labradors, Cockapoos, German Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Great Danes, Pugs, Basset Hounds, Jack Russells and many more. I’ve also looked after dogs for extended stays, so I’m comfortable managing different routines, energy levels and dietary requirements. I currently split my time between several jobs, including hospitality and event work, which means my schedule changes from week to week. While I don’t work traditional office hours anymore, I often have plenty of availability throughout the week and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins and pet care. I keep my calendar updated and am always happy to discuss availability before booking. When caring for your pet, my focus is making sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after. Whether that’s an energetic walk, plenty of playtime, companionship while you’re away, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I always treat every pet as if they were my own. I love being outdoors and exploring new walking routes, and I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. You can expect regular updates, photos and lots of attention for your furry family member while they’re in my care. My schedule varies from week to week as I split my time between several jobs, including hospitality and event work. This means I don’t work traditional office hours anymore, but I often have availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and pet care. I keep my calendar up to date and am happy to discuss my availability before booking. Whether you need an early morning walk, a lunchtime check-in or evening company for your pet, I’ll always do my best to accommodate. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority. Before any booking, I like to have a quick chat with owners to learn more about their dog’s personality, routine and any specific needs. I find it helpful to know how they are around other dogs, children or busy environments, whether there is anything they dislike or should avoid, and what commands they know so I can provide consistent care. I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, attention and companionship while in my care. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, dietary requirements and any other care instructions, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout their time with me.
About: I grew up caring for a rescue dog who had been abandoned and was anxious around people and loud noises. This taught me how to handle dogs (especially nervous and sensitive ones) patiently, and recognise stress signals early to give dogs the time and space they need to feel safe. I also volunteered at animal shelters when I was younger, helping care for dogs with a range of temperaments and needs. Building trust through patience and consistency was incredibly rewarding and made me love dogs so much more. I am now living in London as a student without my own dog, and genuinely miss the companionship pets bring. I’m more than happy to give your dogs my full attention, care, and affection! I'm currently studying for the Bar and my Masters and am typically at home studying around 5 days a week, which allows me to give pets plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day. I take regular breaks by going out on walks or errands such as grocery runs, so I'm able to comfortably incorporate exercise and outdoor time for your pets if needed! Because of my studies, my routine is flexible to fit each pet's usual schedule, including feeding times, walks and any specific care instructions. I provide personalised, one-on-one care and attention for every dog in my home to ensure they receive plenty of individual care. Occasionally, a boarding stay may overlap with a daycare booking. In these situations, I always carefully inform owners in advance, and can keep dogs separate if needed. I prioritise making pets feel comfortable in their own home and respect household routines as communicated. During walks, I keep dogs on lead unless otherwise instructed and ensure their wellbeing at all times. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos, and I'm always happy to discuss any specific needs or preferences in advance.
“Sam is very obviously a caring dog lover. I was a late booking but he turned up on time (for both bookings I made) on time and gave my dog great attention and good walks. My dog was pleased to see Sam again for the afternoon walk; he was all waggy-tailed and happy. Sam himself is very personable, happy and good to deal with.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my uncle’s and grandmother’s dogs. I had a Yorkshire Terrier for about 10 years and later looked after her puppies for a few months. I’ve been actively dog-sitting for several months here in London, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs, playing with them, and keeping them entertained. I enjoy walking and spending time outdoors, especially with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies, older dogs, and even handling more than two dogs at once, and dogs with needs. I love exploring different parks with dogs, taking them on long walks, and making sure they stay active and happy. I truly enjoy their company, and I’m always excited to meet new pups!

About: I have been a dog carer for 5 years. I have taken care of my dog Lola since she was a puppy where i have trained her and taken care of her regularly. I have now moved away from home so would love to see your dog and help out as much as possible :) I’ve got a range of experience looking after small and big dogs with many different breeds! I am very trustworthy and I’m not just doing this for money it’s also about my passion for dogs. Please get in contact! I work from home 3/4 days a week so can easily fit it in my schedule. i am always around a lot on weekends so am very available to suit you! I have a fenced garden with a lot of space for the dog to play/go for the toilet. Also the dog is allowed in all rooms of my house, we have lots of space.
“Mia was an amazing dog walker and our dog Horace absolutely loved her. From our first very walk it was clear how attentive, reliable she is! We really appreciated the regular updates, photos and little notes how the walk went! It was such a relief to have someone that we could trust and I would highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for a dependable and lovely dog walker! Mia thank you so much for the past few weeks! You’ve honestly been a superstar and we are so grateful!! Horace is going to miss you so much!!!”
“Gatsby took to Estelle immediately on his first walk and headed off without a backward glance! He came back happy and panting - sign of a good walk. We'd definitely use Estelle again”
About: I have owned dogs since I was 10 years old and have experience dealing with a wide array of breeds and temperaments. Growing up in the Irish countryside, we had high-energy boarder collies (5 over the years) who needed a lot of stimulation and exercise throughout the day. My partner James and I now live in London with our Labrador-Spaniel cross, Tayto, who is 5 years old. We have a big flat 2 minutes walk from Finsbury Park where we take him most days to play ball, sniff out interesting smells and run around. We're also close to Clissold Park, Chestnuts Park, The Parkland Walk and Woodbury Wetlands so there are plenty of options for outdoor activities at any given time of the day! Tayto was crate trained as a puppy so we are comfortable working with dogs who follow the same routine, however he is now allowed on the furniture and your dog will be too! We are very comfortable with all breeds and needs and look forward to meeting your four legged friend and getting to know them better. If your dog prefers more solo time, we can take pick them up at your home and drop them back, however for any dog-sitting in our home, they will need to be happy around our dog Tayto who is medium sized (22kg). I work from home at least 3-4 days per week and my partner James is at home for the other 2 days of the working week so there is always someone around. We have pretty flexible schedules so just let us know what your needs are and we can accommodate as much as possible. We are currently only accepting requests Monday-Friday but there is potential to accept weekend requests on a case by case basis in the future. Important: If staying in our home your dog dog must be comfortable being around another medium sized dog. We have a 5yr old labrador/spaniel cross called Tayto who we take out for walks 3 x per day so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise. We crate trained Tayto from 8 weeks old (though he now sleeps in his bed/on the sofa) so are comfortable sticking to that routine if needed for your pet. We can administer medication and are very familiar with using various mental stimulation methods for dogs who are particularly high-energy and need more than just a walk/ball thrown for them!
About: I have grown up around dogs and my family has had everything from chihuahuas and retrievers to spaniels and staffies. I am naturally very good with animals and am able to care for dogs of all sizes and needs. I have done dog sitting regularly since I was 12 for family friends and neighbours and I am very well trusted to do so. I take huge pride in my ability to bond with a pet and always take the time to really understand them and listen to their needs. I miss having a dog around since I moved to London so would love the company 🥰 My job is very flexible but usually I work Tuesday-Thursday in the City so evenings, weekends and Mondays work well for me. Unfortunately due to new flatmates can not offer boarding at this time!:( I live in a secure apartment with lots of parks nearby. Pets are always more than welcome on the bed/furniture but also have plenty room for a crate if preferred!!
About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals and have been pet sitting dogs and cats for over a decade. I have significant experience with high-energy breeds that need extra stimulation, like Border Collies and Shelties, as well as anxious pets and dogs with separation anxiety. I'm comfortable administering oral and topical medications to non-reactive pets. I do this daily for my own cat, who has kidney disease and requires a prescription diet. That experience also means I'm well-versed in senior pet care and managing special dietary needs. I treat every pet as an individual and make it my priority to keep their routine as normal as possible while their owners are away. I know that owners miss their pets while traveling and am happy to send as many pet pics as you would like! Because I work remotely, my schedule is highly flexible and pet care fits naturally into my day. I'm able to offer visits throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening, and I'm not restricted to before and after a typical 9-5. This means I can accommodate last-minute requests, more frequent check-ins, and pets who need extra attention or company throughout the day. I believe pets are always most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I visit pets in their own home rather than bringing them into an unfamiliar space. I respect owners' homes and routines. I follow your pet's established schedule for feeding, walks, and medications to keep everything as normal as possible. I'm experienced with secure handling of pets during visits, including those who may try to dart out of doors. Communication is always a priority. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands.
“Very happy with Monika. She's a great communicator, and supported everything we are doing with our dog's training. Monika also came for a meet and greet before which was really appreciated. She is reliable, kind, and we are so happy to have found her!”
About: I hold 10 years of experience in Dog/Cat care. A little bit of info about me, we have a family Siberian husky in whom I absolutely adore & has allowed me to understand body language and dog behaviour and genuinely read what they require. My main approach is just being able to provide a lot love and attention! with the daily walks if needed. Although my husky now lives with my parents since I’ve recently moved out, that experience has given me a strong understanding of what your pet may need to feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’d like to continue providing that care to other pets, as it's such a warming experience. I have also done nursing, so I am happy to adiminstrate medication if required. I’m currently working from home / part time. So I am Flexible. I go into the office on Mondays, though this can change. If you let me know what days and times you need, I can check my schedule and will usually be able to accommodate if it aligns. Please provide enough notice as this helps to ensure my availability is free I provide calm, attentive care. Just let me know what your pet is like to understand their personality and ill ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take a patient and gentle approach , allowing them to build trust at their own pace.
About: I've taken care of my grandma's and dad's dogs for a few years before moving to London. I have a cat who doesn't get along with dogs, therefore I'd like to spend more time with dogs, as I miss them a lot! I can do drop-in around my work schedule and walks at the weekend. I have 15 years experience with cats, please feel free to ask any questions. I work in the office Monday to Friday 9.00-18.00 and I can fit in drop-in visits before and after work. I am available flexibily throughout the weekend for both drop-in and walks. I'm very happy to help tidying up the house during drop-in visits (collecting mail, watering plants, emptying the bins, etc.) and to send you daily updates of your furry friends (photos, videos, emails, etc.). I'm a great choice for a sitter because I'm friendly, trustworthy, patient and calm. I'm also aware of the fact that every dog and cat have their own personality and humans have to behave accordingly.
About: Hi, we're Francesca & Kyle. We both love dogs and have lots of experience looking after them, thanks to our whippet, Artie. Artie was quite an anxious dog so we're very comfortable looking after any dogs with special requirements/separation anxiety/reactivity etc. We're also experienced with administering oral medication. Over the years, we've looked after dogs for friends and family as well, including all different breeds and temperaments. I (Cesca) work from home a couple of days a week so I'm available on some weekdays, and we are also available evenings & weekends. We're happy to follow your instructions and stick to any routines that you have, so that your dog is comfortable and everything remains familiar. We know that every dog is different so will go at their pace - whether that's playing lots of games or giving lots of space.

“I highly recommend Ed as a dog sitter. He looked after my cockapoo overnight and was great at communicating and giving me updates throughout. My dog was returned to me very happy and very tired! Thank you 😁”
“Merve was amazing! It was our first time using Rover for a pet sitter, and although our pup can be fearful with strangers, Merve and her family made him feel completely at home. I felt at ease leaving Benji with them because I saw the care and patience they had in helping him settle in. Communication was great, and the photo updates very much appreciated. I highly recommend Merve and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Jerry had an amazing time with Katherine and Matt. He got lots of walks and love, and I got lots of updates about how he was getting on. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog 🐶”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I myself owned two rescue dogs from that age, so am experienced with nervous dogs with separation anxiety. Over the years I have done several dog sits for family friends and strangers over the summers. I currently work from home 4 days a week and live near a beautiful reservoir so have plenty of time and a lovely area to walk dogs. I have a large open plan living room and kitchen with plenty of space for a dog. Other than that a whole lot of love to give as I’m missing my own dogs!
“The perfect sitter! My cat was well looked after with Arina and came back even calmer than I left him, as his first time being away from home I couldn’t recommend her enough to make your pets feel safe & comfortable. Great with updates and response times too. Thank you☺️”
“Jennifer was incredible in taking care of our fur baby, which is a puppy! Leaving Bonnie for 12 days wasn’t easy, but with Jennifer’s regular updates we felt more at ease! Jennifer’s two little boys were lovely with Bonnie, keeping her busy with lots of playing and cuddles! Will def be returning!”
About: Hi, my name is Maeve, I am 31 and a lifelong dog lover. I have looked after my beagle (Pebble) since I was a teenager, whom we sadly lost last year. Since moving to London, I have looked after many friends' / neighbours' dogs over the years, so I have plenty of experience looking after a dog in the city. I have a fenced garden that dogs love to run around in, and I live near two big London parks that are great for walks. I live with my partner (Matt), who is also a massive dog lover, having grown up dogs and a mum who runs a dog-walking business! I work flexibly, mostly from home, except on Fridays, when I am in the office. I am also available on weekday evenings from 5 pm and on weekends. I enjoy walks, so I am happy to look after an active dog that needs lots of exercise, and I have taken many dogs for walks in the area before! Equally, I am very happy to cuddle up with a couch potato or a senior dog that prefers a shorter stroll! I have a fenced garden that dogs love to run around and play in, which means regular trips outside when needed. Sadly, I don't have my own dog, but that means I can look after anxious dogs or just dogs that prefer to be solo. I have looked after dogs that use a crate before, so I have space for this if your dog needs one.
“Koby had a great time with Sophie. He can sometimes be a little nervous being with new people but she gave him lots of cuddles and he settled in quickly. We loved seeing the regular updates of Koby while we were away.”
“Diana and Raul are absolute gems when it comes to dog-sitting! They took care of our beloved Joey for two weeks while we were abroad, and we couldn't be happier with their service. They went above and beyond, sending us daily photos, videos, and updates, which really put our minds at ease. It's clear they genuinely love what they do and treated Joey like one of their own. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of trustworthy and caring dog sitters. Five stars all the way!”
“Nathan was absolutely fantastic! He stepped in last minute to watch my dog and treated her with so much care and attention. I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable the whole time, and Nathan kept me updated which gave me peace of mind. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! Thank you Nathan”
“Very happy with our dog staying at Elise while we were on a holiday for a week, top service! Regular updates and photos/videos were provided on a daily basis. Our doggy looked very happy all the time. Will book again!”
About: We’re a couple based in Finsbury Park who both grew up with dogs and really miss having them around. While we can’t commit to owning a dog full-time right now, we’d love to spend time caring for yours. We’re experienced with daily routines, feeding, playtime, and, of course, plenty of walks. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a more energetic outing, we’re happy to keep your dog active, safe, and well cared for. We’ll treat your pet like part of our family and make sure they get lots of attention, affection, and exercise while you’re away. One of us is usually working from home during the week, so we’re available for regular walks, company, and boarding throughout the day. We’re flexible with routines and can make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and exercise. On some weekends, we have even more free time, which means longer walks, extra playtime, and lots of one-on-one care. We live in a secure, gated mews with access to outdoor space, though it isn’t a fenced garden, so we’re always mindful and keep dogs safely supervised. We take a careful, tailored approach to each dog’s needs, whether that means keeping them on lead, sticking to familiar routines, or giving them extra reassurance in a new environment. Our home is calm and pet-free, so your dog will have our full attention in a safe, comfortable setting.
“Our dog Gobi had a great time with Allison. Gobi settled in to her home so quickly! We received regular updates and photos, and we could see that she took care of Gobi so well. We would definitely ask Allison to take care of our dog again.”
“Evelyn didn’t just care for my dog, she made him a better dog. He learned new tricks and came back much better behaved! He stayed with her for several days while I travelled abroad, and I didn’t have to worry for a single minute. She sent amazing videos, kept me updated throughout, and it was clear she cared for him as if he were her own. I’m so grateful and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Alice was fantastic with Kano from start to finish. She made him feel completely at home, allowing him to settle in comfortably and treating him like one of her own. He enjoyed some lovely walks, and it was clear he was well looked after and happy throughout his stay. Alice was also incredibly responsive and flexible when I needed to change the timings, which I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and accommodating to look after their dog.”
“Simon was a wonderful dog sitter for our little guy! He is prompt to respond to requests and messages. He kept us updated and asked any questions that arose. His pup, Gus, was great with our dog and I know we’ll be using Simon again for future bookings! Thank you!”
“Sophie and her boyfriend took great care of my little Wally, and he had a great time while we were on vacation. I received photos every two days as agreed, and Sophie responded to my messages quite quickly. Recommend them.”
