“Katherine recently looked after Logan, couldn’t be more happier. Very proactive in communication and regular updates provided. Look forward to her assisting me with Logan again.”

“Hannah arrived on time and looked after Marco extremely well. He is currently on medication which Hannah was happy to give him during the house sitting. We were kept updated on how he was doing, including photos and Hannah ensured he had plenty of garden breaks during the visit. Overall we were very happy with the care Hannah gave Marco and would/are happy to have her house sit for Marco in the future.”

“Our dog regularly gets cramp in his hind leg after treatment on a tumour 3 years ago. We booked a kennel for one night so that we could attend a family wedding, but as the big day drew near concluded it wasn't right to leave him in kennels potentially unattended for stretches of time. The weather was also getting very warm. Having tried a couple of local dog sitting services who were already booked, we tried Rover. Given it was now only 3 days to our event we were delighted Lee agreed to pet sit. We met the day before so our boy could meet Lee and vice versa. Such a relief our boy could be calm and comfortable at home with someone on hand to help if his leg got stuck. Very reasonable price for the peace of mind and service. Thank you”

About: Since the age of 13 I have looked after friends and families pets from cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and guinea pigs. Between the ages of 18-21 I worked off recommendations for house sits and now that I work fully remote I have the opportunity to be available throughout the day. I can provide many recommendations for peace of mind for overnight house sits, drop ins and walks 🐶 Im currently self employed as a social media manager and photographer so I have lots of time spent at my laptop at home.

In your own home I will stay in constant communication with you and run through everything so we are both happy we will be keeping your family member safe
“Bianca was incredible in taking care of our spaniel Red! We had regular photo updates and we were at total ease knowing we could enjoy our day and he was happy and very well taken care of 😇 we’ll definitely be asking Bianca to take care of him again!”

“Morgen and Megan were fantastic sitters for Amaya, our German Shepherd, reliable, caring, and communicative throughout. Amaya was happy, comfortable, and very well looked after. We’d definitely recommend them and book again!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and sometimes babysit my sisters dog and cat, I’ve also been entrusted by neighbours and friends to care for their pets whilst they’re on holiday. I work part time so could definitely make time for pet care within my schedule, I have clubs and hobbies but I’m confident that timings can be sorted! I wouldn’t necessarily pet sit from my house just due to my current circumstances! However this may change in the future. As for a pet owners home, however you feel comfortable! I know each dog/cat has their own quirks and personalities.
“Sweta was great with Marnie, when we first had our meet asked all the right questions and made me feel at ease to leave Marnie with someone new, got some cute photos and came home to one very happy dog, Thank you xx”

“Kyla looked after our cat, dog and house for a week. We received photo updates and responses to any messages. Our house was spotless when we returned and the animals seemed very happy, if not slightly disappointed that Kyla wasn't there anymore!! I'd highly recommend Kyla and will be booking her again.”

Jill and Keith has been exceptional in looking after Oscar and Benji. Oscar is particularly sulking right now as he loves the ladies and has now returned to living with two men. We have had regular updates and lots of pictures. They have been cared for as part of their family which is perfect. Thank you so much from Oscar, Benji, Mark and Mark x

First time we’ve had someone stay in our house and look after our dog and cat but Katherine sent us lovely pictures and updates! We can tell they were looked after well and the house was kept clean. Would definitely have Katherine to house sit again! Thanks again 😊
Jill was absolutely great! She stepped in at late notice and gave Bella loving care. We’d been let down by our usual sitter due to no fault of her own and had a long day at a close family member’s wedding to go to in just a couple of days. Talk about stressful! Jill responded quickly to our request and was extremely helpful and flexible. Although there was no opportunity to meet before the day, we spoke and met on WhatsApp. Jill put our minds completely at rest before and during the day, keeping us informed and sending photos of Bella. There were a couple of things I’d forgotten to tell her and she just sensibly checked with us. When we got home Bella was relaxed and happy. We wholeheartedly recommend Jill who gave the level of love and care we’d give ourselves. She was friendly, professional and approachable. I really can’t praise her highly enough.

Jill is amazing. We were a little apprehensive about going away without Gus our little whippet. We went and met Jill a few days before his mini break and she made us feel at home. Jill provided us with daily updates and we could relax, knowing he was having a brilliant time. Gus clearly likes Jill and has been very well looked after. We would definitely book Jill again. Gus would love to go on another mini break in the near future I’m sure 😊
