“Oliver is absolutely amazing! Looked after my cat Poppy for 2 weeks, in house cat sitting. Kept me up to date with Poppys goings on everyday which was exactly what I needed. She’s happy and chilled and i will be using Oliver again, for sure! Poppy trusts him completely which is a godsend. Thank you Oliver!!”

“I booked Lucia last minute for an overnight sitting with my dog and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. This was my first time using Rover, but Lucia made it so easy and seamless. She sent regular pictures and updates and was really responsive. Thanks Lucia!”

“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.”

“Ellie was amazing with our anxious greyhound who has separation issues. She was super calm and gentle with him and he immediately took to her and settled down, and let us leave with no fuss or barking. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”


“Maria was lovely with our rescue dog. Very attentive, offered to come a bit earlier due to an early start our side, lots of photos and updates. We will absolutely use Maria again!”

“Megan watched our dog in our flat over a long weekend, as well as our garden. Megan was great, sending us photos of our dog and garden several times a day, replying promptly, following our dog’s specific needs and schedule. The flat was left clean, the plants survived the hot weekend and the dog was happy :)”

“Jessica was really lovely and approached our booking very thoughtfully, asking lots of questions to make sure she knew what our greyhound needed. She has a really calm energy and I felt super comfortable leaving Worm in her care. :)”


“Lauren is lovely - very attentive, punctual, caring and communicative. She agreed to come over at short notice and Ollie felt completely at ease with her. Thanks so much Lauren!”


“Popcorn had an absolutely wonderful time with Elena. I highly recommend Elena. She provided daily reports and adorable photos of Popcorn, who is usually a very anxious dog. Elena managed to take Popcorn for daily walks, something no other dog sitter has been able to do. Along with showering him with love and cuddles, she also boosted his confidence. Popcorn has noise phobia and separation anxiety but Elena was incredibly kind and patient with him. She even left my place spotless. I’ll definitely be booking Elena again. She’s amazing. Thank you so much, Elena.”

About: I grew up with dogs, so it started there really! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. Dogs tend to feel comfortable around me quickly, I’ve got plenty of experience with daily walks, basic training, and managing medication schedules when needed. Happy to meet both dog and owner in advance to see if it’s a fit! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, so I'm able to provide a safe, comfortable environment and keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day. I’m available most mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, and I’m flexible with scheduling to help out when I can. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or at yours, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they’re never left alone for long. I’m big on clear communication, so I’ll always keep you updated with how things are going!
About: Hi! I’m Orla - originally from Sydney, Australia, I work full time as a Data & Insights Manager for a Bank and spend my spare time hanging around the Islington area where I live, going for walks and exercising or enjoying all the pubs and restaurants of the area with my boyfriend. I have a genuine love for animals and lots of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with my Labrador, Macey, who’s been part of my life since I was 17 - and recently since living so far from home, I’ve been wanting to get more involved with animals and be around them again. I absolutely love animals and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve regularly looked after pets for friends, including caring for my friend’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for a month at a time. I’m confident with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, cuddles, and sticking closely to a pet’s usual schedule so they feel relaxed and secure. I’m calm, patient, and very attentive to animals’ needs and personalities - whether that’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a cat who prefers quiet company and routine. I truly love all animals and take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to help ❤️ I currently work full-time in a hybrid work environment - so I work out of my home in Islington 3 times per week and am in the office 2 times per week. I’m around on weekends and in the mornings and evenings. I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, but if a pet owner wanted me to bring their pet to my house, I have a fenced yard and a private and extra large garden, so large it’s quite rare for London/the area. Depending on the pet’s usual routine, they would be allowed inside, although if staying over I’d keep the pet in another room and not on or in my bed given my partner wouldn’t be comfortable with it. If I was to house sit or stay over at the pet owners home, I’m happy to fit into any routine that is normal for the pet. For example - when taking care of my friend’s King Charles Cavalier, he was used to sleeping in the bed with the owner so of course I allowed that.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them, including the love of my life, Junie, my 4 year old Yorkie. I know every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever keeps them happiest - whether that’s long walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles on the sofa or simply keeping them company. I work full-time however my role is a mixture of working from home and home and school visits, so no two days are the same. I have a good amount of flexibility in my schedule and can often plan my day around the dogs I’m caring for, allowing for toilet breaks, walks and plenty of company throughout the day. I’m available for house sitting during the week and at weekends, as well as evening and weekend dog walks, drop-in visits and dog sitting. When house sitting, I’ll do everything I can to maintain your dog’s usual routine so they feel settled and relaxed in their own home. I’m happy to administer medication (where straightforward), follow feeding schedules, reinforce any training you’re working on, and tailor walks and activities to your dog’s age, energy levels and personality. I’ll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it tidy and secure while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind, and I’ll always communicate openly so you know your dog is happy, safe and in good hands.
“I am so so happy with Bryony. We had a lovely meet and greet and then she came to house and dog sit for the weekend. My dog Teddy absolutely loved her. She took him on lovely walks, did some training with him and taught him some new tricks. Bryony sent me pictures and videos and when we returned home, everything was left very tidy and Teddy was exhausted and happy. I would not hesitate to use Bryony again and I am so happy to have found her.”

“Johnny was amazing watching our 2 dogs while we were on vacation! He communicated with us the entire time and even sent pictures and videos. Johnny is now our go-to dog sitter whenever we are out of town or if we need someone to come over during the day while we are at work. We highly recommend him to watch your pets!”


“A literal perfect catsitter. Our cat Eloise loved Megan the moment she walked in, and was snuggled up with her the whole weekend. Not only did she take good care of our cat, but also our home - leaving it spotless and even going above and beyond. Thank you again Megan!”


“Sansel was great with our boy Noli :) she sent updates with lots of photos during the time we were away and we came back to a very happy and well taken care of cat. Would definitely book again. Thank you so much Sansel!”

Will absolutely be booking Rachael again! Great communication from her as we were really stressed about leaving our kitten for 5 days for the first time. She made sure to send us lots of photos and also left our flat in great shape and we hardly remembered she’d stayed in it for the time we were away as it was just as clean as we had left it before going away! Our kitten Ludo also seemed to do very well with her and from what we could see became really comfortable really quick which was a great relief!

We booked Megan at the last minute due to changes in our dog care while we were away and she was fantastic. Very quick on communication and sent us daily updates. Our dog was clearly very happy and Megan was so caring. She also left our house immaculate. We would definitely book Megan again.

Hannah was wonderful with our mini dachshund Bruiser! He had been ill for a few days before we left and we were of course worried about leaving him but Hannah couldn’t have been reassuring - she took such amazing care of him and gave us detailed updates which really put us at ease and meant we could relax while away. Bruiser also clearly loved her and was such a happy guy in all of the pics!

Laura took fantastic care of our two cats. She made sure to play with them every day, and kept in constant communication by sending tons of photos. When one of our cats fell ill, she took it to the vet and handled everything until we got home. The cherry on top was that our apartment was even cleaner than when we left it! Thank you Laura!!
Anastasia looked after our sweet boy Kikko over an extended weekend, and we couldn't have asked for better experience. Her communication was excellent from start to finish - regular updates and photos so we never had to worry. She accommodated all of his needs and made him feel right at home. We came back to a happy, relaxed cat, which says it all. Anastasia is now our number one sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Carla stayed overnight in our flat with Duncan and she was great! She communicated with us from the time she arrived until she left at the end of the weekend. She provided updates and pictures during the stay, which we loved and appreciated! We’d love to have her back in the future.

Galina looked after my sausage dog while I was away for over two weeks and I'm really grateful for how caring and attentive she was with him. She kept me well updated. Anton had a little tummy trouble towards the end of my trip and Galina handled it really well - she kept a close eye on him, took him to the vet and stayed in touch with me throughout, which meant a lot when I was so far away. I felt like Anton was in safe hands. Thank you, Galina, for looking after my boy.
Cara was the perfect cat/house sitter! I couldn’t recommend her more. She gave us updates all of the time, and the house was in great condition once I came back. The cats were really well looked after, and they were meowing around the house looking for her once she had gone. Thank you Cara!

Laura was fantastic throughout the stay and I had absolute confidence in how well she looked after our cat and dog. I am slightly concerned that our dog bullied her into playing too much so it may not have been very restful for her. Both animals were extremely happy on our return. Thank you Laura

Lucia was absolutely brilliant with our dogs. She was reliable, caring and clearly very good with dogs. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She was very communicative and sent loads of updates - Highly recommend Lucia!

Sarah was so lovely and professional and she looked after Harley so well. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of him. She provided me with updates and followed all instructions perfectly. Sarah turned up on time, took Harley for a couple of walks during the time she was here and I think Harley really enjoyed his time with her :) I would definitely ask Sarah to take care of Harley again and I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. Thanks again Sarah, really appreciate it and hope to see you again soon x
