“Kristine was a fantastic sitter for our energetic dog Clemmie. She was punctual and cared for Clemmies needs and kept in contact throughout the day with some lovely photos. I would recommend Kristine to anyone looking for a reliable caring dog sitter.”

“Liann was amazing at looking after our two dogs who both have their own unique personality quirks! She was incredibly responsive and provided us lots of cute updates during the day. We fully trusted her with the dogs and staying in the house. We would 100% recommend Liann to anyone looking for dog care and will definitely be re-booking with her!”


“Khushi is a great dog sitter! Our dog loves spending time with her, additionally she house sits and is a great house guest. She is a great communicator providing updates throughout her stay! Highly recommend”

“We came home to very happy and relaxed dogs which I think tells you everything you need to know. Enya made sure our dogs were very happy and comfortable throughout her stay with them, nothing was too much to ask. Highly recommend. Thank you Enya.”


“Im delighted with Simon service. Such a lovely man, looked after my Furry Angels to the max. I will definitely use him again. He fitted in perfectly, eager to help, patient and a good heart. Great sense of humour too. My pets loved him/ We Love him!”


“Giulia was an amazing dog sitter. She is kind, gentle and made my lovely old dog feel relaxed while I enjoyed an evening out. My dog has anxiety when I leave him and he has a lot of mobility issues but Giulia took the best care of him. I was so grateful to her. He was relaxed and happy with her, she sent me photos and messaged me so I could feel at ease. I can recommend her 100%”


“Clara looked after Molly with relatively short notice and provided excellent care for our puppy. Communication was great from start to finish. We've already rebooked Clara for another day. Highly recommended.”


“Meriam did a wonderful job looking after my dog! My dog, a rescue, has a lot of anxiety and can get overwhelmed quite easily. However, Meriam approached her with calmness and care, and I came home to a dog who was happy, healthy, and well looked after. It's not easy to have a dog on your own, but when there are great people you can trust, it is the most reassuring thing. I look forward to working with Meriam again!”


“Annie does such a great job looking after our two dogs! We fully trust her with the dogs and all of their needs. She is an incredible sitter. She provides great updates and amazing photos during the day. We would recommend Annie to anyone looking for a sitter!!”


About: Hi, I’m Louise, an experienced dog lover offering reliable, kind-hearted dog walking, in-home visits and boarding across East and North London. I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent the last 10 years regularly caring for dogs belonging to friends and family, from playful pups to gentle seniors. These experiences have taught me how to read dog behaviour, stay calm in all situations and treat every dog with care and respect. I work primarily from home and set my own hours, which means I’m very flexible and can fit around your schedule, whether you need a daily walker, occasional visits, or last-minute support. I’ve completed a certified pet first aid course, I’m fully insured through Pet Business Insurance, and I am DBS-checked for your peace of mind. After a cancer diagnosis in 2024, I wanted to spend my spare time in a more meaningful way. That’s why I donate 15 percent of my profits to Medical Detection Dogs, a charity training dogs to detect cancer and other serious illnesses. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love the idea of tiny doctor dogs. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog soon. I work primarily from home and set my own hours, so I have plenty of flexibility around your schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or occasional evening visits, I can usually adapt to what works best for you and your dog. I only take on a manageable number of clients so that each pet gets my full attention and care. When walking or visiting pets in their own home, I follow any instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in familiar surroundings. I take time to build trust and always approach animals gently and calmly. I’m also certified in pet first aid and fully insured, so you can have peace of mind. If your dog is staying with me, they’ll be in a calm, tidy flat with lift access, a large secure fenced balcony, and no other pets or distractions. I live very close to big parks and quiet green spaces, so there are lovely walking routes right outside my door. Safety is always my top priority, from using secure leads and harnesses to never leaving pets unsupervised outdoors.

“I almost rated Jeff 1 star, just so I could gatekeep him and make sure he doesn’t get too popular 😅 Forest can be a challenging dog, but Jeff came in last minute and house sat for her and she loved him! 100% the best person I’ve found on Rover. My house was even tidier than I left it! Couldn’t recommend any more!”


About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with one dog who was by my side throughout my childhood, and later cared for another while living with my partner. Taking care of dogs feels natural to me. I understand how to make them feel safe, calm, and loved. I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your dog company. I’m kind, patient, and flexible with time. I’ll make sure your dog feels happy and cared for while you're away. I work as a freelance fashion designer, so my schedule is flexible. When I’m not in the studio, I’m available for Rover bookings. I usually know my timetable a week in advance, so it’s easy for me to plan and confirm bookings ahead of time. I always focus on creating a safe and calm environment, whether at my place or yours. I adjust based on each dog’s personality and the owner’s preferences. Every dog is different, so I take the time to treat them with care and respect, just the way their owners would want.
