Couldn't be happier with Lauren! She was punctual, great communication and Rosie absolutely loved her! Rosie is a reactive dog so is not the easiest to walk and there were no issues! Definitely booking again !

Noa was so great looking after our puppy Slim. She was clearly very experienced with dogs and we felt super comfortable leaving him with her. We would 100% use Noa again!

Haley is fantastic with our dog Hamish! She looked after him for a weekend and we came home to a happy and relaxed dog. Communication was great - we got sent loads of photos and videos and updates on how he was doing. Would recommend her to everyone!

Tania was the perfect sitter. Her love of animals really shone through. Makki had the best time, with lots of photo updates whilst I was away. The flat was kept spotless and I know Makki was well cared for. Would definitely recommend Tania. 💞

Jeff looked after RZA over a long weekend. RZA is a lively and slightly challenging energetic dog but Jeff was great with her, kept me informed throughout the weekend and left my house in excellent condition -very clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend him.

We loved having Magda watch our puppy Noa! It was the first time we left her and we felt very very comfortable leaving her with Magda. We had consistent ( daily ) communication with her and received pictures and updates on how everything was going. We will definitely be looking to book Magda again for our next trips. Thank you so much!!!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have about 5 years of real hands-on experience. I currently have two dogs of my own, a French Bulldog and a Toy Poodle, so I’m used to different personalities, sizes and needs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, basic training, bathing and giving lots of attention. I always try to understand each dog’s routine and energy level so they feel safe, relaxed and happy while they’re with me. I’m a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I organize my days around classes, but I always make time for the pets I take care of. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins and sitting, and I can adjust depending on your dog’s routine. I love spending time with animals, so your pet will never feel rushed or ignored while staying with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep routines consistent and make sure pets are never left unattended. I pay attention to feeding times, walks and playtime, and I give lots of affection so they feel at home. If needed, I can separate dogs, keep environments calm and make sure every pet feels secure, loved and well cared for.

Meri looked after our 12 week puppy whilst we were at a wedding - something we were super nervous about as it’s no easy job looking after a puppy all day who’s in training. She was so professional, kind and laid back. We felt so at ease leaving our pup with her and it all went smoothly. I would 100% use Meri again. Thank you!

About: As long as I can remember my family has had dogs and cats of all sizes. I’ve personally been a cat mom since college, and help care for neighbors’ dogs weekly now. Additionally, I volunteer at an animal shelter every week. I am in and out of my flat frequently during the day: It’s no problem to pop around to a dog or cat for a walk or TLC-time morning, day, or evening. I’m comfortable with any of your home needs or pet quirks. I am in a flat without garden access so cannot take pets overnight at this time.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and always attend to the pets I care for with as much love and affection as I give to my own cats and dogs. Previous pet owners have expressed satisfaction with my prompt communication and attention to detail with their pets. My job allows me to be flexible with my time and location of work, so I can easily make time to care for a pet. Being a cat and dog owner myself, I have made sure my home is pet-safe and free from potential risks ie toxic plants, open doors & windows

About: Preferred name: Kat🐱 I have been a cat sitter in London for about three years (was using a different platform which recently merged with Rover), and have been lucky enough to meet lots of lovely cats and their humans. Before that, I was a sitter back in China (I only moved here a few years ago, before starting university). I also have my own little fur baby Luna, who brightens my life with her cuteness every day. I have less experience with dogs than cats, but continue to learn more all the time. I have helped friends walk and feed dogs while they're away. I currently work Mon-Fri 9:30am-6pm in the Holborn area, and can visit morning+evening or stay overnight. I'm happy to take on boarding too, and can do day care on the weekends. I live in a first floor flat as part of a house. I am based in London N7, close to the Caledonian Road tube station, so it's easy for me to get everywhere. I provide a free Meet&Greet before new bookings start, so you can let me know how to care for your fur babies, and to collect the keys as well.

This was our first time using this app - and leaving our new dog with a sitter. William (Evan) was fantastic. Professional, but lovely person who was incredibly helpful and generous. And the biggest compliment was that he and our dog hit it off immediately!! Which was perfect. Highly recommended.

Henrique is the best dog sitter we have ever had! He took the most amazing care of our two golden retrievers and we had such peace of mind on holiday knowing Henrique was with them. My wife and I now won’t book a trip without checking with Henrique first to see if he is available. He’s the best!!

I can’t thank Charlotte enough for looking after our cat Albie! From the start she was kind, reliable and clearly cared deeply about making sure our cat felt comfortable and happy while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind, and it was obvious Albie was very well looked after and relaxed in her care. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home — we wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would warmly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter.
