About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life as my mother and I are an avid pet lovers who help animals in need find a new home. I have previous experience sitting and caring for puppies and disabled dogs who need that little extra bit more care. I only am able to care for small dogs however I have the experience with disabled, senior dogs and puppies. I am currently in full time university and my days would fluctuate between mid September and early April. I will update my schedule when my university gives me my timetable however I am off university until mid September and am free every day until then. I am only able to care for your dogs/cats in your own home and in their own environment. I have no requirements and no allergies. I am only able to pet/ house sit for up to 2 weeks at a time. I am able to send as many updates whether that is phone calls, messages, photos or videos. I can follow strict routines that your fur baby may have so that there is not much disturbance to their daily life.
About: I have been a dedicated pet owner my entire life, which he sadly recently passed away, and have a deep love and understanding of animals. My personal experience includes caring for my own beloved dog for 15 years, during which I was responsible for all aspects of his well-being, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and regular veterinary visits. This long-term commitment has provided me with practical, hands-on experience in managing a dog's routine and adapting care as they age. I am comfortable with dogs, for I had a Staffie and can provide compassionate, reliable, and attentive care tailored to your pet’s specific needs with lovely walks surrounded my place. Your pet will be well looked after and loved. I am a stay at home person and do things from home apart from on a Thursday I am out 10am-2pm, and on a Friday night I work 6pm-10pm. I am in a smoke free home, one level flat, ground floor with a large back garden that is fenced and many lovely nature walks surrounding me. It's a warm cosy home, and plenty room for cuddles.
“Very happy with Angel's looking after of our cat Ember. Kept us up to date of all visits online with accompanying pictures every time. Would not hesitate to use Angel again in future and would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve got experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I know how to keep pups busy and how to give older dogs the calm, gentle care they need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfy while you’re away. I also have experience with dogs who require medication due to medical conditions, after caring for my own boy Oscar who’s sadly not with us anymore due to old age. Canine First Aid and CPR trained. I’m currently awaiting a start date for my new job so I’ve got all the time in the world to give them the love and attention they need. I only offer care in the pet owner’s home, as I have a German Shephard of my own who’s a bit anxious around other pets. This means your dog will get my full attention in their own familiar space, which helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. I’m big on safety, keeping doors secure, following feeding and walk schedules, and making sure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have been caring for dogs and other pets for many years. From energetic puppies to more laid back golden oldies, I have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. In addition to looking after dogs, cats and other animals, I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for people's homes while they’re away, ensuring everything is kept secure. I have a 1 year-old Schnoodle puppy who loves playing and socialising. If you have a puppy of a similar age and are looking for some fun puppy playdates, feel free to get in touch! If you’re looking for a reliable pet sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to hear from you! I work remotely and flexibly from home so I am able to provide plenty of attention, toilet breaks and play time. I like to set up activities for dogs in my care so that they get as much stimulation as they need, eg treat mats, frozen bowls. Ernie and I go out walking in the morning, lunchtime and evening, incorporating a mixture of exercise - including woodland walks, fetch and recall on the longline and visits to secure off-lead dog fields. Your dog is welcome to join us! We usually go out for a short walk before bed so the dogs can perform their night time ablutions. Pets are welcome to sit on the furniture or rest in their beds and blankets. I am able to care for small to medium dogs in my home. I will often have my puppy with me, so we have plenty of scheduled breaks for playing, napping and walkies throughout the day. When caring for pets at home, I am close to the beach for walks and sniff walks around the park. I am also able to offer home visits, if that is more appropriate for your needs.
About: I grew up having cats and dogs. I’m very passionate about animals, and I've started walking and caring for family friends' dogs when I was 14 years old. I've been working part-time in a dog daycare for 4+ years, and can attend up to 10 dogs at a time by myself. I have achieved multiple certifications and taken courses in dog behaviour, separation anxiety, enrichment and canine first aid. I am reliable, trustworthy and a genuine animal lover. I work part-time and as a freelance, so my calendar is really flexible and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I am free most days except Fridays. I live in a very quiet, ground-floor flat, with double glazing. I don't have a garden or balcony, nor direct exits to a main road.

About: I’ve had small pets all my life, both Dogs and Cats. My favourite time is time with my pet family. Walks, playing and training and resting together I currently have a lead reactive rescue poodle who needs lots of love and support plus boundaries to be his best self. I also have a handsome poodle cross who I’ve had since a 12 week puppy. He’s an absolute cracker. I have three cats - all rescues and one has three legs. Being retired I have time now to help other pet owners too. I’m experience at care, especially giving medication and keeping them safe and happy. I will look after your pets needs keeping you regularly updated. Let’s chat and see if I’m the right fit for you and your pet family. I am retired so it’s easy to fit around your routine and needs. Let’s chat so you get to know me and I can understand what you are looking for. I have a safe, walled back garden with grass and a patio. I have a large house with plenty of room and safe spaces. I’m happy to come to you and follow your routine.
“Dylan took great care of my very high energy Cocker Spaniel puppy. It was my first time using the app so I was a little anxious about the whole thing but he was super patient, friendly and accommodating of meeting us beforehand! It's clear that he loves dogs 🐶 Will definitely be booking him again - I'm sure my pup will be delighted! Thanks Dylan ☺️”

About: Having grown up with a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and parrots, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, as well as pet sitting for rabbits. Whether providing care for several weeks or just a few days, I ensure each pet feels secure and loved while their owners are away. My family and friends always trust me to sit for their pets, highlighting my reliability and dedication. I focus on creating a stimulating environment with plenty of playtime and affection, along with maintaining clean and comfortable spaces. My genuine love for animals and my attentive care help ensure that every pet has a positive and enjoyable experience! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine, as I’m fully flexible with my time. I can easily accommodate various schedules, whether it’s early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles. My adaptability allows me to tailor my visits based on each pet’s needs, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve whenever it’s most convenient for their owners. Whether it's short visits or longer stays, I’m committed to providing a loving and enriching environment for every pet in my care! In My Home: Safe Space: I create a pet-friendly environment with secure areas to prevent any escapes or accidents. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and the space is thoroughly cleaned and free of harmful substances. Comfort: Each pet has a cozy resting area with plenty of blankets to make them feel at home. I ensure that they have access to fresh water at all times and a consistent feeding schedule. Supervision: I closely monitor all pets during playtime and activities to ensure their safety and well-being, providing a loving and attentive presence. In a Pet Owner's Home: Familiar Environment: I respect the pet owner's space and routines, keeping their home clean and orderly. I maintain their established schedules for feeding, walks, and playtime to minimize stress for the pets. Trustworthiness: I communicate regularly with pet owners to provide updates and address any concerns. I follow their specific instructions regarding care, medication, and any special needs their pets may have. Safety Protocols: I ensure all doors and gates are secure and that pets are always supervised, particularly during walks or outdoor play. By prioritizing safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I ensure that every pet feels comfortable and secure, whether they are in my home or their own.

About: Over the years I have had 6 cats, 2 dogs, hamsters, parrots and fish so I have always had a love for animals! I have plenty of experience in caring for them and know what they need. I have had pets who have had ongoing medical needs including regular medicine. I’m the go-to contact for friends and family when they need someone to pet-sit! My partner, Huzaifah, will be helping take care of your pet. He’s an animal lover and has looked after cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, and iguana and a tortoise. I work part time and my partner, who also adores animals, works full time from home so your pet will always have company! We don’t work weekends or bank holidays. We currently have 2 gerbils in a cage in our spacious upper cottage flat with an unfenced garden. The gerbils are elevated so there shouldn’t be any issues, they love the company of other animals!
About: I love all dogs - big and small! I grew up with dogs - a German short haired pointer and an Italian Spinone, as well as lots of other lovely dogs in my extended family too. I now have a three year old cocker spaniel called Juno. She is well trained and very sociable with all dogs and she loves to have other dogs to stay! I’m happy to work on any training needs your dog has while staying with me. I work from home 2 or 3 days a week. I tend to take Juno for one longer (1+ hours) walk per day as well as a couple of short trips to the park. I can adjust this depending on your dog - longer/more adventurous for energetic dogs and shorter/more gentle walks for older or slower dogs. We love to go down to Portobello, round Arthur’s Seat and up to Blackford Hill. I live on my own and have a 2 year old cocker spaniel. She is very friendly and gets on with all dogs - but also knows when to leave dogs that don’t want to play with her! I will only ever take one dog at a time so it will only ever be the two dogs together. I have a secure shared garden with grass lawn and surrounding stone wall. In the house, your dog can make itself at home. I have dog beds in both rooms and they are also welcome to be on the sofa/armchairs. I’ve got lots of dog toys and chews. My flat is on the third floor so may not be suitable for older dogs with mobility/joint issues.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes – from dogs and cats to guinea pigs! I’ve looked after both energetic puppies and senior dogs, tailoring their care to their individual needs. I'm confident with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and administering basic medications. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands. I currently don't work full-time with flexibility to work from home, and I’m mostly available on weekdays and weekends for daytime care or overnight stays. I live in a secure, pet-friendly flat with a large, fenced garden – perfect for safe outdoor time. I'm also just a 3-minute walk from a lovely big park for walks and play. I'm happy to crate your dog if needed and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: With my Dad who races pigeons and an Auntie who rescues dogs and used to volunteer with The Dog's Trust, I am one of the lucky ones who has grown up around animals their entire life. We kept budgies and rabbits, a dog and a cat. I had neighbours who asked me to look after their guinea pig, and another who asked me to look after their Yorkshire Terrier, I have wide experience with different animals and on different terms, including overnight stays and daily meal time visits, or just as a companion for a few hours. My boyfriend is always catching me talking to various dogs and our cats when we are out on walks. I'm currently working from home as a freelance photographer which gives me a pretty flexible weekly routine. I live close to a number of parks for walks, but also close to public transport for home visits.I As previously mentioned, I have been entrusted with things like staying overnight to look after a friend's cats, dropping by to check in with pet wellbeing and keeping them company for a few hours and dishing up meal time. Additionally, as someone very fond of nature, dog walks are something I really miss about moving to the city from the Scottish Highlands where I grew up with said cat, dog, rabbits, budgies and pigeons.

My daughter and son in law are also able to help me with walking if I am sore on a particular day, so they will be walked as much as they want.

About: My whole life, I've always owned animals of all sorts—big and small. My family has a farm, so I'm accustomed to that lifestyle, not afraid to get dirty, caring for chickens, cows, and sheep.

Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns. I am currently unemployed with an open schedule. I have a vehicle large enough to transport extra large or multiple dogs. Open to long extended walks or travel for pick up. I have no animals on my property. I live in a remote area away from traffic and other houses.

The pets would be in the living room, or my bedroom.

David was able to take a last minute booking for me at short notice and was flexible in arranging keys, and coming over to meet my can Nina. His reports helped put our mind at ease, including pictures and updates about Nina's wellbeing. I felt confident that my cat was in safe and experienced hands and that allowed us to enjoy our holiday. Would recommend David to anyone as a knowledgable and attentive cat sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm.
