“Gulsam and her husband are really special. They looked after my cat like she was their own sending me pictures and keeping me updated on her well being constantly. Upon collecting my cat and having her back home I could see she had a wonderful time, she was happy relaxed and her normal playful self. I would highly recommend.”
“I recommend Daryl as a dog sitter, he looked after my Bonnie for New Year’s Eve for a few days. She’s not normally away from me so I was very nervous about leaving her but he sent me daily updates to reassure me she was being entertained and having fun. I was snowed in out of London so my train was cancelled so I had to come back a day late and he was very accommodating to that.”
“Every time Kira stays with Thais and Marina it’s an absolute joy for everyone involved. They are very attentive, always sending updates and pictures, and genuinely love her as if it were their own. Even baking bespoke cookies for her!! There’s no one I trust more to leave my dog with. Kira came back home yesterday and was crying because she was missing them! I think that says it all…”
“Hope took really good care of my dachshund Basile! She and her partner are very reliable, communicative and clearly have a heart for dogs. I felt like I could trust her and she would be careful with Basile and make sure he had a good time. highly recommend interesting your dog to her!”
“Not much else to say but my holidays now revolve around whenever Geraldine is free! Ziggy truly seems so happy with her and the updates are fantastic! Would highly recommend!!!”
“Vesper loved her time with Arianna and Pepita getting lost of attention, cuddles and playtime. We received lots of pictures and updates and felt confident that our dog is in great hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 18-20 years now, so most of my life! I have an 18 year old cat and a 12 year old Jachuahua dog who is very well behaved! My schedule is very flexible! My other role is self-employed so as long as I have some notice I am very flexible with bookings. I’m available weekends but will charge more. My flat is small so crating your pet is easy! I never take dogs off leads when walking and will always ask about how they are around dogs. My pets are friendly but they can be kept separared if your pet is anxious!
“Julia is brilliant and took excellent care of my cockapoo Juno overnight. I felt really comfortable leaving her with her for the first time, especially as Julia is so great at sending updates. Highly recommend!”
“Iggy had a great time with Karina and her partner. He became inseparable with their dog Keiki. Karina kept us updated with regular photos and videos. We would definitely leave Iggy with Karina again. Thank you for looking after Iggy and putting up with his snoring!”
“Merve was amazing! It was our first time using Rover for a pet sitter, and although our pup can be fearful with strangers, Merve and her family made him feel completely at home. I felt at ease leaving Benji with them because I saw the care and patience they had in helping him settle in. Communication was great, and the photo updates very much appreciated. I highly recommend Merve and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Bella was absolutely amazing with my little working spaniel, Tux. He can be a very eccentric boy and Bella was totally unphased and confident as I explained all his quirks. She was totally at ease and engaged with him and spoke to him with natural authority, which he immediately recognised. I could see he would have no anxiety related issues with her knowing he would recognise her as a firm, peaceful, and loving pack leader. I felt totally at ease leaving tux with Bella. He apparently behaved really well which I put down to Bella’s confidence and overall skill in managing him. Would definitely book her again without hesitation.”
“Fantastic experience, for the first time we let our puppy with a dog sitter. Ruby really enjoyed the time, very clear and prompt communication. Will try to get Ezster again! Thanks so much”
“Adelina took wonderful care of Milly. Milly seemed genuinely sad to leave her house at the end of the stay. We received daily photos and videos. We look forward to booking her again soon!”
“Bianca was an amazing carer for Alfie the cocker spaniel making sure he felt comfortable and safe. Bianca was generous enough to agree to meet before the stay and sent updates throughout which was most appreciated. Bianca has a warm home, personality and family and Alfie was lucky enough to enjoy this for a few days - until his next visit!”
“Leaving my old pup with Sascha was a great experience, especially considering that it was a somewhat short-notice request. She was able to flex with multiple dropoff delays, provided plemnty of updates herself, went out of her way to schedule and execute a grooming appointment, and was just generally super user-friendly to deal with, with no sketchiness of lack of communication. Highly recommended!”
“Ioana was very attentive both with Mila and myself. I received various comprehensive updates with pictures everyday, and that made me feel at ease my whole trip. Also, Mila went on several walks, played a ton, and got plenty of belly rubs. She looked so happy with Ioana and her partner! Definitely, Mila would stay with Ioana again whenever I have to be away.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dog Hermes while we were away on holiday. Angela was kind, reliable, and made sure Hermes got his medication every single day, which gave us great peace of mind. He looked happy and well when we came back, and it was clear he had been in loving hands. Angela has such a warm and caring energy — we’re truly grateful for the attention she gave him, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Would highly recommend Rasthy. He made our dog feel at home and made sure he was well looked after. We were anxious about leaving him for over a week as this is the longest time he has been away from us. Rasthy made us feel less anxious with daily photos, videos and updates. Would definitely book a stay with Rasthy again.”
“Diana looked after our West Highland Terrier again, and really impressed us by looking after Tony so well during the heat wave. Diana is very careful, caring and professional. We strongly recommend her!”

Yagmur was fantastic with my dog. Everything went smoothly, and I could tell my pup was genuinely happy and well cared for throughout the entire visit. What really stood out was Yagmur's communication - she shared photos with me every single day, which meant I could check in and see my dog happy and doing great. It made me feel confident and at ease while I was away. If you're looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter, Yagmur is absolutely the right choice. I'd be happy to book with her again anytime!
Jeeyeon is an amazing dog sitter! We were absolutely thrilled by how gentle and attentive she was with our dog while we were away on vacation. She shared photos and kept us updated on all the fun moments, so we were fully in the loop. It made us feel like our pup was still with us and our family was complete, even though we had to be apart for a while. Jeeyeon also took some gorgeous photos—one of which is now our absolute favorite—and we are incredibly grateful for everything. We will 100% be back, especially since our pup missed her for a while and kept looking for her during walks. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Jeeyeon, you are amazing!
Veronica was the most caring, accommodating sitter we could hope to leave our little guy with. Such an ease on your nerves meeting someone who genuinely adores all pups and we had constant communication and photos which were lovely to see. Cannot recommend her enough and I think my little rascal can’t wait for his next hang out with her either
Olivia and Anand welcomed Penny into their beautiful home with such warmth and patience, especially as she was in heat. I was so grateful! They sent me some lovely pics and updates and cared for her so well that when I collected her she was only mildly excited to see me haha. I would absolutely 100% love for Olivia and Anand to mind Penny again.
I cannot speak highly enough of Fred and her partner Seth. They provide wonderful care that is professional and loving. We left our senior Cockerpoo for a week she has diabetes and poor eyesight so I was naturally concerned about finding the right sitter. Fred was amazing from start to finish she looked after Rosie so well giving twice daily injections and keeping us updated on how she was doing. Rosie even had a pamper session and tons of cuddles and belly rubs. Fred is a real professional sitter and from the first meet I knew Rosie was going to be in good hands. Fred and I had a meet up and then Rosie had a one day stay so she was familiar with where she was going to stay. This was so reassuring for me and really well organised. Fred was excellent at communication and always responded to any question by return. Every picture I had of Rosie she was smiling. Fred made sure Rosie’s stay was a really rich experience even introducing her to new toys that she could enjoy despite her impaired vision. On the last day Fred and Seth were wonderful with the handover meeting us on the way back from the airport. If you are looking for a loving professional stimulating experience for your little one Fred is the sitter for you. A huge thank you both for looking after Rosie so well.
Emily was amazing! I could not have asked for anyone better to look after Luna on such short notice. It is clear how much she loves and cares for dogs. Luna was happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after when we picked her up—she almost seemed reluctant to leave and come home! I greatly appreciated Emily’s kindness, communication, and the many updates and photos she sent throughout Luna’s stay, even when I wasn’t able to reply. I would happily trust Emily to look after Luna again. As a fellow Doberman owner, I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Emily!
We left our lively nearly 3-year-old dog with Yasmin for 12 days. This was the first time we had ever left her. As soon as I met Yasmin I felt sure Nala would be safe with her. Yasmin really listened to the information we gave her, at the same time being flexible about finding ways to settle Nala and creative about how to get her stay to work. While we were away, Nala had an upset tummy for a day or so, and Yasmin checked in with the online vet via our insurance. She was just really thoughtful about meeting Nala’s needs, keeping us up to date in a timely way and sending pics of Nala having fun!
Iosif and Irene are the ultimate sitters. They’re attentive, kind, communicative, wonderful people, who we’ve booked multiple times to care for our Pads. Every time we’ve felt no stress knowing Iosif and Irene are looking after our girl and we’d trust them every single time. They’re the best!
