“Christopher looked after our 2 cats for a few days and we would definitely recommend. He was always prompt and we felt as ease that our cats were taken care of, even though one in particular can be quite nervous. Thank you!”

“Cleo had a wonderful experience with Sara-Jane and we returned to a very happy cat. Great communication and we felt at ease with all the lovely photos we were sent while on holiday.”

About: I have been caring for pets personally and professionally for over 14 years. I have worked as a cat sitter, caring for cats in their own homes when their families are away, and have been fully trained as a dog walker. I am confident working with dogs of all shapes and sizes and am familiar with young, training puppies, as well as senior pets who require special medications, feeding schedules, or mobility issues. In addition to my professional experience caring for pets, I got my very own first cat, Simon, at the young age of 7. Since then, I have been 'mummy' to 2 other cats and one lovely dog, in addition to being the legal guardian of several furry nieces and nephews whom I've cared for on countless occasions. Pets give me a genuine joy unlike anything else in this world and I love spending and sharing my days with them. I am currently working on a freelance basis, which opens me up wonderfully to the world of dog walking and cat sitting. Typically, I am available anytime between the hours of 10am - 4pm, Monday to Friday. I believe in keeping a pet in their familiar surroundings whenever possible. Home is the most comfortable place for all of us and when families are away, the consistency of staying at home is important for a pet. I like to be a guest in the pets home, letting the cats take control on social time, and being quick and discreet when picking up a dog for a walk and bringing them home again.

About: Plenty of experience with dogs, including volunteer experience as a trainee vet nurse at a rescue centre! I’m new to Rover, but have been caring for dogs for several years and always make sure they feel comfortable and happy. Trusted with countless walks, check-ins and petsitting. I work from home with plenty of time to be attentive with pets and keep them active. My schedule is flexible and I’m very happy to work around the dog and give them the activity and attention they need. Weekends are centred around the pet, with walks and lots of attention. I’m also able to carry on any training you are giving your dog and can teach new tricks! Fenced-in garden and plenty of attention to spoil your pet with! Can follow dogs own schedule so they’re comfortable and happy. I live near a large field and can offer activity and exercise for dogs as they need. I’m an active person and can set the pace depending in what the dog needs is, allowing plenty if time for sniffing and enrichment. I have experience with senior dogs as well as younger pups and can make sure their training schedule is being followed and that they get plenty of love and attention. I’ve has experience if working in a recuse kennel and am comfortable administering medication and am very attentive to what the dog needs.
“As usual totally reliable and great company for my aging basset hound who needed settling in and reassurance Charlie is kind , punctual, sensitive to the dogs needs and I can recommend him totally I trust him in my home and am so glad that I have found him.”

“Theo was wonderful. This was my second time booking with him and hopefully won't be the last. He is so caring and he keeps me well informed about my boy when I'm away from home which is such a comfort as I do worry. Thank you again Theo and for all that you do.”

“Alycia was really helpful with looking after my dog at short notice. She put my dog at ease even though it was their first time meeting and she was lovely with him which was really appreciated. I got some great pictures and update on how the visit went. Thank you!”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and grew up with a dog of my own. My friends and neighbours have always had dogs too, and I’ve often been the one they rely on to walk, feed and look after their pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with puppies, senior dogs and those needing a bit of extra care and patience. When I worked as an au pair, the families I lived with also had pets, and I helped take care of them every day. One of them even had a cat named Poliwag — he became one of my little babies! For now, I’d love to turn my passion for animals into a second job while I wait for the right time to have a pet of my own. I work full-time from home, with offices days occasionally. Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily fit pet care into my routine for walks, visits, and cuddles throughout the day. My weekends are completely free, so I have plenty of time for boarding, longer walks, or extra playtime. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their environment. Since I mostly work from home, I can keep a close eye on them and follow their routines carefully: feeding, walks, and playtime. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, affection, and attention to their unique needs. Your furry friend will always be in caring hands. I also live with my friend Olivia who absolutely loves dogs, she has one of her own, so your pet will be watched over by two pairs of caring eyes, making sure they feel supported, supervised, and well-loved at all times.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats most my life and my family just loves having pets around. It will be myself taking care of your pet and I can’t wait to meet them :) I work from home and so am home all day and would usually go for the walks in the morning and sometimes the afternoon too, if your pet requires 2 walks, please let me know, I have a fenced off back yard and a lot of space in the house. I can crate your dog if needed (please provide the crate), or he/she can have full roam of the house. My dog gets on very well with other dogs, he is a neutered golden retriever.
“We had to find a sitter last minute and found Erin to be a friendly and professional sitter. Erin popped in for an hour to let Nellie out in the garden and play ball with her. We’ll definitely use Erin again.”

About: I have always had pets as a child and now as an adult! Animals bring so much joy to life and I love my furry friends. Our beloved Labrador passed recently and we miss having a dog in the house, but aren't ready to replace yet, so I enjoy caring for other dogs whilst their owners are away! I live moments from the River Wey so your furry friend can expect a lovely walk along the river to stoke lock through to Guildford nature reserve. I work flexible hours from my office at home, which means I have plenty of time to care for your pet and make sure they get the attention they need - plenty of play, walks and food! I have a fully fenced and secure garden where there is space for your dog to be outside. Whilst I am working your dog will sit with me in my home office and provide welcome distraction from my IT role! I will walk dogs in the morning, lunchtime and evening as needed to suit your pet.
About: I’ve owned dogs myself since I was young, and have grown up wanting to be a vet (currently in my third year of my uni degree). A mix of work at a dog kennels and local cattery make me a perfect match for your companion. I’m currently a student at the uni of Surrey studying veterinary medicine, so during the week I may have some mandatory practicals to attend. But I organise my schedule around this so that when I’m looking after your pet, they will have my full attention at all times. I live in a very clean and friendly neighbourhood in Guildford, with lots of parks and long walks nearby. My garden is entirely enclosed by the fence and large enough for all dogs to enjoy. They’re is plenty of room in both the lounge or bedroom depending on your dogs preference of where to sleep (even if they steal my space on the bed). I also have other vet students friends who love to give cuddles to all my visiting pets, although they will not leave my direct company.
About: After years of begging my parents, we finally got our golden retriever Arlo in 2021. I spent the first few months with him at home, working on training and obedience skills. Now that I live away from my parents, I miss having a dog at home. I am unable to have a dog of my own due to work commitments and my current tenancy so I would love the opportunity to look after a dog at the weekends. I work full time, mostly in the office but will be available on weekends (Friday night- Sunday night) and then potentially some week nights too I have a large fenced garden and a huge park nearby to the house for lots of walks if necessary. happy to accommodate all needs
“We are so fortunate that we had Jess looking after Cloud. Jess came for a pre-visit at the house before we went away and it was clear straight away that she was the perfect person to look after our Cloud. We got daily updates and pictures from Jess and I can tell from these that Cloud really adored Jess. We are so pleased that she was left in safe and loving hands. Thank you. Jess!”

About: My brother owns a cat and two dogs and I frequently house sit for them for long weekends and recently for 3 weeks whilst they were abroad. I love the company of both cats and dogs, and regularly take breaks in my days working from home to shower them with affection and treats (if allowed!). Since moving to live alone, I’ve missed the good company of cats and dogs around the house so it would be my pleasure to look after your furry friends. My parents own a cockapoo dog, who I walk and look after regularly, so I’m used to taking dogs for walks & generally caring for dogs too. I work from home as a marketing manager on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, and work in London the other days during the week, so your lovely pets will never be left alone too long. I can go for walks quite frequently during the day, during lunchtime on weekdays and before and straight after work. Let me know if you’d be interested to find out more- happy to chat/ meet before any next steps and feel free to ask any questions. Look forward to hearing from you soon. I go for walks before work, at lunchtime and after work. I can also take your dog out more regularly if needed for comfort breaks. I have a clean and modern apartment, which your dog can roam around freely in. They are welcome to be on the sofa and bed, depending if they allowed in your home.

Super grateful for Christopher looking after our Sue. Really thorough, great daily report cards and pics, and especially lucky to find someone who can keep up with her insulin jabs. We will absolutely be booking Christopher again if we need someone to watch our old girl!

Tais was amazing looking after our two cats. She kept us updated with daily videos and photos, nothing was too much trouble for her. The cats were a bit ill while we were away, and we were so thankful it was noticed by her. They needed some treatment and she gave them the medication with ease. The cats were so happy once we got home and we knew they were really well taken care of. Thanks Tais! 🐈🐈⬛

Theo is so great! He is kind, knowledgeable and thorough, giving excellent feedback and working closely with your dog’s behavioural guidelines. He’s a really lovely person who seems very dedicated to offering the best service, and wasn’t put off by my still very bouncy 10-month-old vizsla.

Navania is a very lovely young lady. She looked after our shy cat Katie for 3 weeks. After the first week Katie started to trust her and came out of hiding for her food strokes and play. We would not hesitate to book her for future cat visits. She did everything expected and more.and sent lots of photos. we cannot recommend her highly enough.
