Bella has a calm, friendly energy and was so patient with our very nervous cat. Communication was great, and Bella also took care of our home - it was spotless when we returned after 5 days. I cannot recommend her enough!

Molly is fab! She watched Monty for a day while I was in the office and I immediately knew he was in good hands, he took to her right away. She kept me well updated throughout the day, and was great with keeping Mont’s routine (and listened to all of his little cues throughout the day). I can’t recommend her enough!

Sofia has been able to sit for me on numerous occasions, even at short notice! She’s been wonderful with Brutus and he’s really taken a liking to her. She’s great at communicating and keeping me in the loop and she’s been extremely flexible for the times I’ve been late home! It’s great to have people like Sofia to call on and can’t rate her highly enough.

About: Hello! I’m a Kiwi currently living in East London, and I’ve brought that outdoorsy New Zealand spirit with me! Growing up, dogs were a central part of my life—I spent years looking after my own family dog and frequently stepped in to care for my neighbours' dogs back home. My experience goes beyond just family pets; I also spent time volunteering at a dog shelter in Hong Kong. This role involved walking and socialising dogs of all temperaments and sizes. It taught me how to handle nervous pups with patience and manage high-energy dogs with confidence, so you can rest assured your dog is in very capable hands. I work from home most days, which means your pup won't be left alone. They’ll have constant company and plenty of park breaks. I live in a quiet, safe flat in East London, just a stone's throw from London Fields. My home is a calm and peaceful environment, perfect for dogs who might get overwhelmed by busy city streets. It’s a secure space where your pup can truly relax and feel at ease.

Tilly did a fantastic job looking after Clyde for the day. He felt comfortable with her right away and she sent lots of lovely photos and updates throughout the day. I'd be happy to book Tilly again.

Mia was absolutely amazing - we had such cat who had to get seen by a vet and Mia ensured everything was all good, and medications were given. If you’re ever in need of a sitter, Mia would be the best option possible😊

We have had the pleasure of having Elana look after Elvis in May for 5 nights, and recently for 1week…. She is absolutely amazing…. We was able to fully relax knowing that she was with Elvis the whole time and In his own home. We had photos and videos sent daily of all the walks, baths, cuddles, feeding times, and this was fantastic so we could see how much Elvis was enjoying himself! Elana is exceptionally respectful of our home and left it immaculate for when we came home which was a gift in itself! I couldn’t speak any higher of this fabulous lady! Thank you so much! We all love you loads!

About: I would love to get another dog of my own but being on a work visa makes it challenging. Have plenty of experience looking after my elderly pug who recently passed. Keen to share some of my love with some other fur kings and queens. My job is completely remote, so when I’m not travelling myself I’m home to give attention and care to a fur child. Happy to exercise or snooze whatever the dogs activities require. I’m in a very large flat but love getting outside so any dog who’s with me will be getting outside multiple times a day for bathroom breaks and exercise.

About: We are three friendly and responsible women who have all grown up surrounded by animals and have loved caring for them. Between us, we’ve had years of hands on experience raising and looking after dogs of all sizes and from different backgrounds. We have regularly dog sat for friends and family, so understand the importance of keeping pets happy and healthy and in their usual routine as much as possible. With three of us in the flat, your dog will always have attention and lots of love and belly rubs. We’re excited to explore Rover as a new platform for looking after furry friends! Our jobs are a paramedic, a news and media lead, and a scientist, so there is always someone home. Our household is comprised of 2 people who work from home and 1 that works a 4 day on, 5 day off shift pattern so there will always be someone home for belly rubs, pee breaks and walks ! We live in a spacious 3rd floor flat in a secure building with a fenced balcony. Our home is bordered by parks and green spaces perfect for toilet breaks and walks as well as meeting new doggy friends ! If your dog is social, there’s a vibrant cafe culture here and if they are shy there’s lots of quieter pockets to explore too !

Eleanor is cleaniness next to godliness when it comes to looking after your home. When you return your pet greets you like you've never been away and the place is spotless. My cat had food, fresh water and clean litter. Eleanor left a welcome home note that was absolutely adorable and I can't wait for her to come back and neither can my cat. We are both very happy and so is our home with Eleanor as a pet sitter,and you will be very satisfied like we are if you are lucky enough to book her for you and your pet. She's a very nice and respectable person and we would recommend her to anyone.

Fiona was an excellent cat sitter - excellent communication before and during the cat sitting, and she took care of our cat amazingly. She was also very quick on the uptake with any instructions about food, timing, playtime, and so on. We felt very reassured knowing that Fiona was looking after mini and she was very accommodating when our flight back was delayed. Would 100% recommend and would book again 🙂

Miriam looked after our dog Bonnie and our cat Canute over New Year’s for a full week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter. She kept us updated every single day with messages and the cutest photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our fur babies were clearly happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. We also came home to an utterly spotless house, which was such a lovely surprise. 10/10 recommend booking with Miriam 🐾 a truly wonderful human, and we will absolutely be booking her again in the future.

About: I have multiple years of dog sitting both via apps and for family and friends all shapes and sizes. Me and my partner have both previously had dogs and love having one round the house, we just can’t commit to one full time ourselves just yet! I work fully remote so have great flexibility and availability throughout the working week. Happy to help out with both dog boarding and day care. Any questions feel free to ask!! I work fully remote so have an huge amount of flex to look after dogs during working hours. Day to day I’m always out for a walk before work, lunchtimes and evening too so energetic dogs who need that for their day to day fit in really well! On the weekend we tend to be pretty flexible too me and my partner generally spend our time mooching across London, coffee shops , pubs and parks (especially in summer). All of the above improved by having a 4 legged pal with us!! We live really close to multiple great walking locations less than 6 minute walk from Clissold park and Highbury fields both great dog friendly spots.

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.

Antonia really is the perfect doggy sitter!! She is so kind and caring and has real initiative. At the last sitting, she noticed something about Misty that I hadn't seen. I took her to the vet and thankfully she should be fine but it's thanks to Antonia that she got treatment. Can't thank her enough!

Georgia house sat for our two cats whilst we were away for a weekend and has been an amazing sitter! She was clearly experienced with cats (gave them space if needed but also played with them) and gave regular updates on how they were getting on which made us feel very happy knowing they were being well looked after. Would highly recommend Georgia!

I would definitely recommend Gail as a sitter 🐾✨ She was very responsive and sent me regular updates with pictures and details. Sera is an anxious dog who needs some gentle guidance and Gail was able to keep Sera’s regular schedule to a T. I had great peace of mind and was not worried about Sera at all while she was in Gail’s care. I came home to a well kept flat and a happy dog, I will definitely be reaching out to Gail again!

This was the first time I’d left my puppy, Toast, so I was a little nervous, but Gennaro was fantastic and put my mind at ease. She had a great time and went on lots of fun adventures. The updates were excellent and it was clear she was being very well cared for. I came home to a clean and tidy house and, most importantly, a happy puppy. I’d happily book with Gennaro again and highly recommend him.

She arrive ahead of time for the booking and sent me regular updates. She even managed to get Olive out on a walk which is unheard of for a new person! We look forward to Ally being a regular sitter for us.
