About: I’m an 18-year-old animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets. I recently dog sat for two weeks, where I stayed in the owner’s home and cared for their senior dog full-time. This included feeding, walks, giving lots of attention, keeping to their routine, and making sure they were comfortable. I also have two cats of my own, so I’m very experienced with feeding, grooming, cleaning litter trays, and understanding different pet personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and love making pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so I have flexible availability throughout the week for pet sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays depending on my shifts. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home by sticking to their usual routine. During my two week live in dog sitting experience, I cared for a senior dog by feeding them, walking them, giving medication when needed, and providing companionship. I’m respectful of owners’ homes and reliable.
About: Me and my partner Carlo have loved and looked after pets from a young age. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and can easily follow your pet’s usual routine, including walks, playtime, and feeding schedules. Keeping pets comfortable and sticking to the routines they’re used to is really important to me. I love looking after both cats and dogs and providing a safe, calm space where they can relax while you’re away. I always aim to make pets feel at home and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection so their stay feels like a little holiday. I’ve had experience caring for both cats and dogs through having my own pets and looking after those of friends and family. I also cared for my senior cat for many years, so I’m very familiar with understanding cats’ individual personalities and needs. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I work from home and have flexible schedule that allows me to give regular walks and spend time with your pets throughout the day.

“Joana was great looking after our puppy for the first time. She communicated beforehand to put my mind at ease and arrived on time. I got sent lots of lovely photos and videos of my puppy too! Would definitely book again. Thank you 🤩”
About: I have experienced many opportunities working with Animals from an animal hospital working towards treatment plans to support every animal get back on their paws, to more recently on a dairy farm along side my border collie who taught me a thing or two in return. I love animals and plan to continue working with them throughout my life. In Australia I was able to live and work there for 3 years through various pet sittings, and animal care, from seniors learning a new trick to potty training a 8 week old puppy I have loved every moment. I am a confident trainer able to teach both my dog and cat the same tricks using some healthy treats I make myself. I’ve recently returned home after travelling and working in Australia for 3 years I am catching up on some much needed time with my pets. I try to aim for 2 walks daily, plus enrichment tasks which leaves time for training in the evenings. Rest of the time we probably getting some cuddles in I have a fenced garden where my friendly dog and cat like to explore. My dog is very sociable and loves to make new friends. While my house is suitable for some indoor exercise, I live close by to many small and large fenced parks where I like to let my dog run around. I have experience with dogs with medical needs as well as working with anxious rescues. I can provide safety and love for all my animals
“Ada was great! I have a very tentative cat but I could see he was comfortable with her. She has a very calming presence which I think is very good for the pets. She sent me several pictures and put me to ease too. Great job!”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would! Can't recommend Caroline enough - I had a slightly sick cat and Caroline went out of her way to pop in multiple times a day to check on him - if you don't let this lady look after your cats, I don't even know what you're doing... she is absolutely amazing!”
“Wow what can I say. It was a little daunting handing over my keys and placing Cassie and Perse in the care of someone I’d only met once before. I had no need to worry Sophie was amazing. I had regular daily updates and sooo many wonderful pictures. Sophie is a great communicator, warm, friendly and above all loves my cats. I highly recommend her.”
“I’m so lucky to have found Georgiana! My pets and I loved her from the moment we met! She is super responsive, on time and keeping me in the loop with details and photos of my pets. Would recommend her to anyone and definitely book her again! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pets!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs, so looking after pets has always come naturally to me. I now have a corgi of my own, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I love playing with both dogs and cats, but I’m also happy to just keep them company and help them feel relaxed while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I always try to treat every pet like my own and pay attention to their individual needs and personality. I also have experience giving medication if needed, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks. I already have a routine with my own dog, so adding another pet feels very natural. I’m able to be flexible with walks, feeding times, and any specific needs your pet has. Whether it’s a quick check-in, longer walks, or full-day care, I can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is well looked after and not left alone for long. I have a fenced garden, so pets can enjoy safe outdoor time and toilet breaks. I make sure to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions.
“Samantha and her daughter did an excellent job looking after our cat! Communication was quick and clear, received daily updates and pictures and they even went an extra mile to wait for us to come back first before dropping off the keys in case of a delayed flight. Thank you both again! Definitely recommend!”
“Natali is a fantastic cat sitter. I felt so relaxed being away, with the care she gave my cats! She did all the basics plus played with them so they didn’t get bored. I got so many videos and photos and my cats clearly loved her.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something that truly makes me happy. I grew up with four dogs and one cat, learning firsthand how much love, patience, and understanding each animal needs. I also spent several years cat-sitting for two cats, regularly brushing them, monitoring their health, and tending to any issues they had, always making sure they felt safe and comfortable. In my free time, I’m drawn to helping animals however I can. One of my most meaningful experiences was spending an entire day trying to rescue a lost, frightened dog roaming the streets. Moments like that reflect how deeply I care about animal wellbeing, especially when they’re scared or vulnerable. I believe every pet has their own unique personality, quirks, and needs, just like people. I genuinely love getting to know each animal individually and adapting my care to what makes them feel happiest and most secure. I’m currently a university student, and while my own pets are back home in Switzerland with my family, I miss caring for animals daily and would love to continue sharing that love and attention with your pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority <3 As a university student with a very flexible course schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m generally available early mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I’m fully available on weekends. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m happy to accommodate regular routines, last-minute needs, or longer visits when required. I always make a point to set aside dedicated time for each pet, not just for basic care, but also for play, mental stimulation, and companionship. I believe keeping pets engaged and active is just as important as walks and feeding, and I genuinely enjoy spending that quality time with them. I take safety, responsibility, and trust very seriously when caring for pets in someone else’s home or outdoors. I understand that every pet, and every household has its own rules, routines, and boundaries. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether that means specific walking habits, feeding routines, training rules, or areas of the home that are off-limits. I’m respectful of personal spaces and treat each home with care, cleanliness, and discretion. When outside, I stay alert and attentive at all times, prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort while being mindful of their environment. I also pay close attention to behavior cues and body language, adjusting my approach to what helps each pet feel secure and relaxed. My goal is for pet owners to feel completely at ease knowing their pets, and their home, are being cared for responsibly, thoughtfully, and with genuine respect.
“Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend lovely Alex! She is so sweet and it was such a relief to find someone who genuinely seemed interested in bonding with my cats as well as taking great care of them. Really appreciated her daily updates and cute photos, and she left my house so tidy! She’s the best 💕”

I do let dogs off the lead if they have a good recall and with owners consent. My family house has a well fenced off secluded garden and numerous parks nearby for dog walks. I can look after pets at our house or visit them at yours.
“Thank you Trung for responding to my urgent drop-in visit request promptly. When I was aboard and realized I hadn't received notification from my pet camera for a while, I was in a panic. It was late night in London. Trung confirmed he could go in 20 minutes, and he arrived as promised. He quickly confirmed my cat's safety, and provided me with peace of mind. I highly recommend Trung for his responsiveness and reliability!”

Kingston upon Thames cat owners share their Rover experiences
Caroline was fantastic! She was very friendly and both of our cats took to her straight away—even Luna, who is usually very shy around strangers. Caroline was incredibly helpful, flexible, and accommodating to our needs. She was also able to administer medication to Set, which is always a challenge, and handled it with ease. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. She also helped look after our plants, which was much appreciated. We're extremely happy with the care Caroline provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!
Annie has looked after my cat Ladis, who is a suspicious boy and had been here just over a month, with patience Annie has gained his heart and catered for all his need while I was away for a long weekend, thank you Annie! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter.
Raquel looked after our cat over 9 days, as twice daily drop in visits and was fantastic! From the initial briefing visit and then throughout she showed that she not only listened to us, but also understood our cat, and her likes/dislikes and needs. Great with her litter tray, communication with us and so clearly caring and thoughtful.
Cheryl did an amazing job. Really looked after out cats while we where away. She gave them great care and made sure they where looked after. I find it hard to trust people with my cats while I am away but she put my mind at ease. Very caring and sends updates daily. Really good with cats. I know now for the next time I have a caring person to look after my cats. She went above and beyond and done an amazing job. I recommend her 100%. Thank you

First time using Rover and was so thankful to Robert! He was incredible with our cat, who is typically quite shy, and managed to get him out and playing in the first drop in!
